>Warning: unable to open an initial console.
I got this message for (it seemed) a variety of reasons. One was that it
couldn't find the nfs server, but in the end it was that I was
booting off an O2 and the permissions on the dev/ directory were all
screwed from SGIs tar. Re-building dev to match a x86/Linux machine
fixed it.
So it's a long shot, but check that your dev directory in the nfs
mounted distribution looks like:
crw------- 1 root root 4, 0 Sep 13 20:05 console
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 1, 3 Jan 1 1980 null
brw-r----- 1 root disk 1, 1 Jan 1 1980 ram
crw------- 1 root root 4, 0 Sep 3 1995 systty
crw------- 1 root root 4, 1 Sep 13 20:05 tty1
crw------- 1 root root 4, 2 Sep 13 20:05 tty2
crw------- 1 root root 4, 3 Sep 13 20:05 tty3
crw------- 1 root root 4, 4 Sep 13 20:05 tty4
crw------- 1 root root 4, 5 Sep 13 20:05 tty5
