No, ttyd* is correct. I've used serial consoles with FreeBSD machines
for a long time, and it can be frustrating. (I've found getting serial
consoles going on lots of different types of machine frustrating too.)

Not sure what might be wrong here. How about,

  $ ps auxww | fgrep tty
  $ fstat | fgrep getty

Info to make sure that is all OK?
