[BRLTTY] "Can't access console"

Hi.
I am getting the message from the subject if
I launch brltty from the initramfs (very early, before init is launched)
when I switch away from console 1 to something else (like 2, or 7).
If I restart brltty after runlevel 2 started up completely,
I can again switch to consoles other than 1. Additionally, cursor
routing does not work either, it immediately answers with the "failed" beep sequence.
I guess this is because some device did not exist in my /dev hierarchy
while brltty was started first. Is this right?
Can we perhaps fix this such that brltty does not need to be restarted?
And, what device could I have been missing?
Additionally, when I start a brlapi client, it can not
connect to brltty if it was started from initramfs, I also
have to restart brltty to make brlapi clients work.
Maybe this is related to the first issue, or not.
