    initramfs-boot: create /dev/console
    
    The Yocto kernel expects a proper /dev/console to exist before running init,
    otherwise booting will fail with the message:
    
      Kernel panic - not syncing: /dev/console is missing or not a character device!
      Please ensure your rootfs is properly configured
    
    Add similar fix as was done for initramfs-framework and initramfs-live-boot
    in commits
