[Fedora-livecd-list] mayflower exec < /dev/console before /dev/console exists???

Question-

in the initramfs /init generated by mayflower-

...
"
export PATH=/sbin:/bin

exec < /dev/console > /dev/console 2>&1

mount -n -t tmpfs -o mode=0755 udev /dev
mknod /dev/console c 5 1
mknod /dev/null c 1 3
"
...

Is this a bug that /dev/console is being referenced before it is 
created, or is there some obscure magic relating to /dev/console that I 
am unaware of?
