emerge splashutils
[...]
 * It appears that the /dev/tty1 character device doesn't exist on
 * the root filesystem. This will prevent the silent mode from working
 * properly. You can fix the problem by doing:
 *   mount --bind / /lib/splash/tmp
 *   mkdev /lib/splash/tmp/dev/tty1 c 4 1
 *   umount /lib/splash/tmp
[...]

There's no mkdev command (not here anyway); mkdev should be replaced with mknod.

Reproducible: Always
