So the gist of this is that rc.local writes to /dev/console but you don't see this? I added this to /etc/rc.local on a normal installation:

echo hello_stdout
echo hello_console > /dev/console

and "systemctl start rc-local.service" does print the hello_console on the console (you need to run it on a VT, you won't see it in X), and the hello_stdout goes to the journal. So apparently I'm missing something.

How do you test this exactly? Some OpenStack instance, and nova console-log? Local VM? something else?
