 In 10.1.3 os353 (as well as prior builds), running "init S" from a text
 console results in two dueling text consoles running on ttyS0.  You may
 therefore may not see what you are typing, as well as send input to the
 wrong one (or a child program started by one of them).   The dueling shell
 prompts can even be directed to two different directories.

 In addition, there is still a text console running on ttyS1, as well as
 one on the serial port.

 Expected: Single user mode ideally means single user mode and a single
 text console launching the shell prompt, although I wouldn't mind if we
 left the terminal running on the serial port.

 Actual: Two text consoles on the first virtual terminal, and an additional
 one on ttyS1 {the serial port one probably should remain}.
