Thus Linux decides that ttyX aren't valid devices, so when init tries to start mingetty using them it fails - hence the messages in your log.

I'm not sure that will work as the problem is with the kernel as I understand it. By redirecting like this you should be able to get OpenBoot playing on the monitor but not init. > Otherwise, just reboot with the keyboard plugged in. Or edit /etc/inittab and telinit I think...
