Subject:   login_tty problem on fresh 4.3 install

I just installed FreeBSD 4.3 on a machine that had been running 3.4.  I
have been getting this message repeatedly:

<date> getty[<pid>]: login_tty /dev/console : Operation not supported

After a few those, there is another message saying that getty is going to
sleep for 30 seconds.  When that time lapses, the screen again fills with
the messages.  Because of the messages, I can't really get a look at the
system.

I've no clue why this problem exists.  The only unusual part of the install
was that I didn't configure an IP address.
