Since upgrading to 10.1-RELEASE-p3, a Xen DomU running an HVM kernel
complains of the following---

> Jan 24 22:06:06 knossos getty[3883]: login_tty /dev/console: Inappropriate ioctl for device
> Jan 24 22:06:06 knossos getty[3885]: login_tty /dev/console: Inappropriate ioctl for device
> Jan 24 22:06:06 knossos getty[3887]: login_tty /dev/console: Inappropriate ioctl for device
> Jan 24 22:06:07 knossos getty[3889]: login_tty /dev/console: Inappropriate ioctl for device
> Jan 24 22:06:07 knossos init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs

---although via Xen I can connect to its ttyu0 just fine.

The relevant lines in "/etc/ttys":

> console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on  secure
> 
> [...]
> 
> ttyu0   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   onifconsole secure

I'd be grateful for any advice.
