Here's the solution. In /etc/ttys, I changed

ttyc0  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   wy60 on  insecure

to

ttyc00  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   wy60 on  insecure

and then ran `kill -HUP 1'.

I still have a question, though. Here's some of what I see when I
list tty-s in /dev:

crw-rw-rw-  1 root    wheel    1,   0 Jan  8 06:19 /dev/tty
-rw-------  1 root    wheel        29 Jan  7 19:52 /dev/ttyc0
crw-------  1 peeter  tty     48,   0 Jan  8 06:21 /dev/ttyc00
crw-------  1 root    wheel   48,   1 Jan  7 19:55 /dev/ttyc01
crw-------  1 root    wheel   48,   2 Jan  7 19:55 /dev/ttyc02
crw-------  1 root    wheel   48,   3 Jan  7 19:55 /dev/ttyc03
crw-------  1 root    wheel   48,   4 Jan  7 19:56 /dev/ttyc04

The /dev/ttyc0 is not a character device. Do I need to clean it up?
If so, how do I go about this?
