Description (last modified by Jakub Jermář)

As of mainline,1184, the following will render the console unusable:

 # cat /loc/bd/initrd 

This is to some extent expected as the block devices do not implement the file protocol, so open() and read() don't make any sense with them. On the other hand, the system should react to this in a more sensible way and should survive any such attempt.
