FYI, I did a send-pr of an automatic patch to /etc/ttys if installing
of a serial port to be consistant with the login.conf.

Description

       If you do an install via the serial port, Sysinstall correctly updates 
       loader.conf so the kernel messages come up on the console.  However,
       it should also enable a getty on the serial port as well so you can
       login to that port.  This patch does that by changing "off" to "on " 
       for ttyd0.  Note I do not disable getty on ttyvX.  It's probably fairly
       easy for the admin to just login as root on the serial port and
       disable getty on ttyvX if by chance no display or keyboard device is 
       available to address that issue.

       This should make life a little easier for serial installations.

I guess in the least once this is hashed out the pr should be closed.

Thanks,

Doug A.
