That makes it very quiet indeed ;-)
But it might be nice to see the "virtual boot" messages...

... So this suggestion is more appropriate, but this file doesn't
exist. I have "tty" inside the "dev" directory.  When symlinking
"console" to it, I get an error message:

- runit: warning: unable to open /dev/console: device not configured

It's not needed in this instance.
But, just in case, how can one provide new devices?
Is it just a matter of running 

 mknod /vservers/phony/dev/console c 5 1

?


Thanks,
Gilles
