While continuing experimentation with installing 2.1.5 I restored my
/etc directory that I had saved. With this I guess that the /etc/ttys
was restored, but I had added some virtual consoles and I forgot to
./MAKEDEV.

I copy the /etc/ttys to a dos floppy, edited in dos to remove the
additional console I had added and try again. I still got the can't
exec getty error.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?
