MAKEDEV should in this case add the /etc/ttys entries or /etc/ttys should
contain all possible ttys.  This would save trouble when installing more
ttys and reduce noise on freebsd-questions as newbies ask why their logins
do not shop up in w.  Minimum might be adding MAKEDEV echo line which would
tell the user "Remember to add new tty devices to /etc/ttys" ?
