Bummer, that. And while it makes the initial dash able to give us

I think the patch is unnecessary in any case.
Dash loosing stderr when /dev/tty is unavailable is a dash bug. It's been
fixed in upstream git and the patch has been applied to rawhide and F11.
I think the problem should be considered fixed and we won't have to
introduce workarounds like pre-creating device nodes.
Some of us want to use dracut on F10, or better yet CentOS 5.3. And we
test on released distros, not an unreleased one (albeit coming very
soon).
Does my later patch, that just makes /dev/tty point to /dev/console for
the emergency shell seem unobtrusive enough to take upstream?
If I need to carry this locally, I don't mind, but I figure others could
use the fix when working on the initramfs.
