That's /dev/pts/0, but that error message doesn't make much sense.

I'm not going to fix bootlogd, though. That would be patching a bad
design. We need a completely different approach. Bootlogd, in it's
current form, needs to go away (and will go away).

Miquel,

I also experience this bug.  From 
http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/03/msg03785.html I understand you are 
not
placing too high a priority on following up on these bugs.  My computer runs 
sarge and does not have udev, I still
get the error "cannot find console device 136:0 in /dev" upon trying to start 
bootlog.  You say these bugs are hard
to troubleshoot since people often do not respond back to questions.  What is 
the device 136:0?  If I knew that I'd
send you more meaningful output.  Let me know any questions you may have.

Regards

Rolf
