I like this idea a lot (the latter - making /dev/console controlling tty). On an old SunOS 4 machine I once worked with, a Ctrl-C during the execution of rc.sysinit would sent it terminate signals. So when the NFS was hanging on mount because of a f***ed up network (or changed ip address of server) you could hit ctrl-c during the rc script and the mount would be sent the ctrl-c and would terminate, then the rest of the rc script would continue (regular shell script behavior if I'm not mistaken).
