There are a slew of bugs and apparently random fallout of /dev/console not 
working.
In my opinion, its really *not* helpful to just ignore that 'write' to stdout 
fails.  Ignoring errors is never really a solution.  In this case, cloud-init  
may have specifically opened /dev/console.  But in other cases, it just writes 
to its stdout or stderr.  It does not know that that output is destined for 
/dev/console or a file, and should not just ignore the errors.

The real fix for this is to fix the kernel or the OS in some way so that
writes to /dev/console always succeed.
