/dev/console is not a plain file, it is a special file, made with mknod.
"man mknod" for more info. Look in your host distribution for the type of
/dev/console. Don't forget that you will need some more of these file, such
as /dev/null.

Tip: the outpout of "ls -l /dev/console" should look like:
crw-------  1 ymorin root 5, 1 Aug 16 09:39 /dev/console

HTH,
