Hello everyone,

I am fairly new to the FREEBSD world having spent most of my UNIX time in
SCO and Solaris, so hopefully I won't get slammed to hard for asking this
question.I recently upgraded my box from 4.0-Stable to 4.1-Stable and did a
rebuild on my kernel. Now I am getting this error message:: 

init: login get class: unknown class default
init: login get class: no default/fallback class `default`
init: can't execute getty `/usr/libexec/getty` for port /dev/ttyv1* 
no such file or directory

* this part changed each time it scrolls throught with a different port
number

I figure this is a two part problem and would appreciate any help that I
recieve.
I have checked the questions archive for the login error and have not found
a match for my error but there are several for the unknown class root error,
and as far as the getty error the only fix I have found is  the ./MAKEDEV
vty ? where the ? matches the number of devices listed in my /etc/dev file. 
I guess what I really need to know is the proper order to do the fixes and
what the right fixes are and what exactly did I do wrong to get to this
error stage so I won't do it again. The following is the steps I followed to
do after I completed the cvsup, they came from an email on the newbies list.

make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel KERNEL=MYKERNEL
shutdown -k
make installworld
mergemaster
reboot
