That means simply by using console= on the kernel cmdline you should get a getty on it. We currently still use the old securetty tool to patch those terminals into /etc/securetty on demand. I have submitted a patch to pam_securetty however, to make it look for console= on the kernel cmdline internally, which when merged allows us to get rid of the tool and have this work on r/o root fine as well.
