This is indeed true, but before I can do that, the device needs to 
be recognised/created by the kernel. In this case, there seems to be 
a problem with the USB driver, preventing it from creating the 
necessary device, so there is also nothing to pass to the kernel or 
getty.

I've got Wifi working. I followed those precise instructions, but 
I keep getting the same error.

And there is no device in lsusb on my laptop. Which leads me to 
believe, unfortunately, that my RPi is actually dysfunctional.

Thanks everyone for their help. Wifi works. That'll have to do.
