When a console is configured, /dev/console and /dev/tty1 are created as symlinks to the same underlying pts. This causes problems since a separate getty will be spawned for /dev/console and /dev/tty1, but they are each controlling the same device. This patch makes it so that /dev/console is the sole symlink to the first console, /dev/tty1 to the second, /dev/tty2 to the third and so on.
