Most of my machines are headless without video cards and use a serial console. With devfs this means that /dev/ttyv[1-N] do not exist and getty bitches like this: Sep 26 11:00:11 monet getty[543]: open /dev/ttyv1: No such file or directory Its an incredible pain in the ass to get spammed by these things on a 9600 baud serial console while you're editing ttys to turn the damned things off. I don't want to have to have 4 more lines of spam to deal with when installing a new server. If you also fix getty to silently ignore the problem and go to sleep forever, then I withdraw my objection.
