Hello! I need to start a curses based front-end to an application automatically during boot on a terminal without ever asking for any login or similar. How can this be done in FreeBSD? On linux you can use inittab and use the binary "open" to configure the terminal, but I've got no idea how to do it on FreeBSD. So ttyv0 should be running this program and all the other terminals should have a normal login prompt. I've looked at various files like /etc/ttys where you can specify the terminal application to run, but you can't just run any application here as it has to configure the terminal and getty can't be used as it doesn't run any other binary than "login".
