Greetings, 

   I recently did a world build upgrade from FreeBSD 5.2.1-Release to
6.0-Current.

 

I had a clean kernel build, kernel install, and a clean build world and
build install, however when I reboot after installing the world, I get the
following error.

 

Init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv(#) No such
file or directory.

 

Where # changes based on the line.

 

This error scrolls across the screen several times and I am unable to ever
reach a prompt, however if I restart in single user mode I can still mount
all my filesystems fine, and such, however I will be the first to admit I
have no idea what it would be that I am looking for.

 

This was my first time building an OS from sources, and I didn't have
anything important on the computer, so if need be I will install from the
cds again, however I would like to know if there is a way to fix this
without having to reinstall the system seeing as how I would like to be able
to do it again in the future =).

 

Cheers,

 

Jon
