Details

Description: This changes the currect code for console initialization to make it dynamic.
For example when boot on UML the number of consoles is 15 and not 63.

Just change the "seq 0 63" by a shell expansion "/dev/tty[0-9]*"

Without this, booting on system that don't have 64 VT will make regular files under /dev/ and error messages at startup.
