Subject: ttyv4 problems


I did a make world today.

Upon rebooting, I got error messages about getty not being able to find
/dev/ttyv4
through /dev/ttyv7.  Also startx would not work, reporting that /dev/ttyv4
was
missing.

I traced it down to /etc/ttys, which was updated.  Upon replacing this with
the
old /etc/ttys, all these bad problems disappeared.
