nfs unreachable: can't get /dev/console for controlling terminal

Hi,

besides the wrong order of initializing syslogd in rc system when
IPv6 has been enabled, I have found a second similar problem with the rc
system on my client desktops.

When you physically detach your NIC or make wireless access point
inaccessible on which you have an nfs mounted file system (in fstab).
The system will prevent you to get access to /dev/console and won't
even start in single user mode.

This is extremely annoying.
