I think I saw this many years ago when dabbling with building my own installation from source/scratch. If my memory serves, then what you're missing is /dev/console.

How would I know? How would I fix it? When I use knoppix the /dev system is completely empty because it wasn't used to boot the system.

I agree with this, but I'm not sure how this would have gotten hosed up on a normal install.

Have you made any manual changes to either /etc/inittab or /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit?

Nope. I couldn't even log in, because I couldn't even get CentOS to get past that error.
When I run Knoppix I made these changes:
reinstalled all of /boot from a working system on the same hardware/software.
rewrote fstab to bypas software RAID (since changed back).
