I'd add a small correction: console and vc/0 are different, so I guess you need to make them match (i.e. with the above line, I think vc/0 in securetty probably doesn't work).
More important, with /dev/console you get that Ctrl-C, Ctrl-Z and so on won't work (even on host Linux). With vc/0 (or tty0, in non-DevFS speech) they should work. Btw, I'd suggest converting to non-devfs as it went away starting from 2.6.13. > This does the trick. > Please post this so others can use the info.
