What issues did you find with the current userspace console that you
cannot display it early enough? Would be useful to know also because
maybe that can be fixed.
It is not a case of there being an issue with the Hurd console. It is a
user space task which can only be launched once the kernel has
initialised. Initialisation might, for example, call Panic before a user
task can be started at all. The user space console cannot report what
has happened if it cannot run.
