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). >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
