+
+Somehow your `/dev/console` got hurt. You can mount by hand (e.g. on `/target`)
+your root filesystem from a Hurd installation CD and run
+
+ settrans /target/dev/console /hurd/term /dev/console device console
+
+to restore it.
+
+You can also set it from a Linux system with:
+
+ setfattr -n gnu.translator -v "/hurd/term\0/dev/console\0device\0console\0" /target/dev/console
