That makes it very quiet indeed ;-)

... 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
