Exactly the same problem was broken in the past (snv_16, [*]).
IIRC Jan Setje-Eilers fixed this, most likely with the changes for
CR 6342722 ("single user shell sort of busted" ? Not sure, this bug
isn't visible on b.o.o.).
In snv_75a, more works OK when starting a single user shell from
the installation media.
In snv_75a, the miniroot /sbin/sulogin shell script contains this line:
exec 0<> /dev/console 1>&0 2>&0
The miniroot /sbin/sulogin from snv_75a has SCCS ID
"@(#)sulogin.sh 1.5". Has that changed for snv_77?
