Public bug reported:
I'm booting a freshly bootstraped Precise with nfs-root. For that to
work I had to replace mountall so the system isn't 100% pristine. I'm
also using a custom kernel and no initramfs. But I've added some debug
outputs to /dev/console there to see if everything works:

So both /dev/ptmx is there and /dev/pts is mounted so from then on
logging should work. But the errors persist.

And that is where I get stuck. Why does upstart need to be restarted to be able to open pseudo ptys?
Why doesn't it work right after /dev and /dev/pts are created by the mount-virtfs job?
Can I restart upstart as part of the mount-virtfs job?
