I have not connected it to a keyboard or a display, since the server is
hosted in a colo site, and I only ever access it remotely. Like I said in
my email, I never used to see those messages, until recently, when I moved
the server to the colo site, and didn't give it a keybaord or display.

I also commented out the tty lines, so it seems I am not the only one
to see and fix this behaviour.

Thanks for your response.
