My boot hangs shortly after printing "warning: no /dev/console" What's wrong?

Errors
This and the similar message: warning: lookup /dev/console: error # both indicate that the kernel can't find the console device. This means that you probably forgot to build devices while in the Installer. Reboot the machine, mount any non-root partitions you have using the Installer's Mini-Shell, and choose the "Build Devices" menu item to set up the proper devices. From Scott Reynolds (scottr@netbsd.org): Harmless message, unless you are using a miniroot.

In addition if you are using Windows console and the problem hasn't been solved edit the file "C:\Program Files\SyMON2.0\esymon\es-console.bat" on the console host to include its ip address. This is a symptom of a bug in Sun Enterprise SyMON 2.
