Please run mergemaster to update your installed /etc when you update past
these changes.
If you do not do this you will not be able to login as root on the console.
The first person to email the list asking why they can't login as root on the
console has to go stand in the corner with a pointy hat on.

Log:
Change ofwcons to use the output-device property from the firmware for the
name of the device that it creates. Update /etc/ttys accordingly.
An alias is created for the old name so that old /etc/ttys will continue to
work, but due to aliases being implemented as symlinks in devfs you cannot
login as root when using the alias device.
