Basically, it doesn't work because there's no controlling TTY set.
Opening a TTY usually sets the controlling TTY, but the linuxrc
context is set up by the kernel. Giving kernel processes a controlling
TTY is usually a bad idea (press ^c and kill a few kernel processes...).
There'a s the TIOCSCTTY ioctl call which a process can use to fix that,
but nothing in the linuxrc context does.
