I'm sure your kernel mods to keep TTY settings after a close work
fine, but what's wrong with:
pause:
main()
{
pause();
}
and in /etc/rc:
pause > /dev/lpr &
If you have many printers, write the trivial program to open them all
up and then pause(). You can even do the kludge of opening /tmp and /bin to
keep their inodes in core.
Whatever,
