What does /dev/console look like?

Under 2.2.17 kernel (which boot...)
[root@ipnpwpc3 /dev]>ls -la /dev/console
crw-r--r--    1 root     root       5,   1 oct 19 08:24 /dev/console
is this good or not ? Do you need more information ?
If so how can I get it ?

Did you enable any device that can provide a console functionality, like e.g.
CONFIG_VT, CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE?

[xavier@ipnpcu5 linuxppc_2_5]>grep VT .config
CONFIG_VT=y
CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE=y
[xavier@ipnpcu5 linuxppc_2_5]>grep CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE .config
CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE=y
