I was getting console messages that indicated getty not seeing
/dev/ttyv[45678].
Those devices didn't exist, so I created them on FreeBSD 2.2.6 with the
following command:

cd /dev
mknod ttyv4 c 12 4
...
upto #8.  Now I get the following messages:

Not sure what to do.  Please advise.  Thanks in advance.
