Busybox is very often used in initramfs at the end of which usually
there is a switch_root to the actual rootfs. There are many cases where
the console kernel argument is either just a placeholder (for example
RaspberryPi uses serial0 and serial1) or configured as null to avoid any
console messages - usually you would see such of a setup in production
environments.
Currently busybox bails out if can't open the console argument. If this
happenes in initramfs and if the console=null for example, you get in a
blind kernel panic. Avoid this by only warning instead of dying.
