>Release:        FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE i386
>Organization:
Pavilion Internet/FreeBSD (UK)
>Environment:

	Using mergemaster to update a 3.2-CURRENT box.

>Description:

	In July des added more vtys to /etc/ttys as default.
	Mergemaster installs this file, but doesn't create
	the device nodes in /dev to go with them.  The main
	problem that this causes is the X11 won't start after
	a mergemaster update because /etc/ttys states that it
	should use a vty (vty8) that doesn't exist yet.

>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
	
	Shouldn't mergemaster install the default device nodes
	in /dev, to update/add any changes?  (i.e. sh MAKEDEV all).
