Re: /dev/console switching: the continuing saga

Following up on the hangup when using fsysopts /dev/console, the
following change fixes the problem.

This immediately opens the new argument the term translator is pointed
to (eg. /dev/vcs/10/console or your preference)

Roland's earlier change hasn't made it to the server for some reason,
if diffs seem stranger than normal.

        * hurdio.c (hurdio_init): added hurdio_assert_dtr () call to force
        the open of a device during a change of arg/type.

There is another problem, (this appeared prior to the above change),
when trying to reset the terminal device to --type=device console as:

     fsysopts /dev/console --type=device console

I get the following:


   ds_* invalid reply port
   debugger invoked, but there isn't one.

... reboot ...

I guess that I need to rebuild with the kernel debugger for this one.

Note: I am using gnumach-1.3

(insert (concat "\n\n" (shell-command-to-string "uname -a")))
