Hello -

It looks like this is nothing new as I've found some questions as such
in the mailing list archives, but without solution :(

I just did a cvsup and make world to 4.3-RELEASE

My kernel was compiled with the same kernel config as before (one that
worked without a problem).

However, when I boot my machine, I get the following error

can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv0

The boot cycle just hangs and it echo back that error every 30 seconds or
so.

I've definitely done a

cd /dev && /bin/sh MAKEDEV all

and all the devices are there properly.

I can boot into single user mode and run "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" and get a
console.

This goes on even if I toy with the different parameters in /etc/ttys

I can't seem to find a fix, and it's a bit critical. If you can please
help I would appreciate it very much!!

Thank you.

Bill
