I tried putting 'mkcdev /dev/console tty/console' in the 
cryptsetup_luks template.  But when it boots, it warns that the 
file already exists, but gives the same error:

   /usr/lib/yaird/exec/run_init: opening console: No such file or directory
   Kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init!

So, which file does not exist that needs to be created manually
before run_init?  (I tried tty0 too, got the same thing.)
