I am going through the handbook pages for configuring the cy driver for
a Cyclades Cyclom 8Yo I just purchased.  I did what the pages said to do, 
re-compiled the kernel with the driver in it, and it compiled fine, and it
recognizes the card when it boots, so I know it is there.  Now I am at the
stage of making the device nodes, and I follow the steps from the
handbook:

# cd /dev
# for i in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7;do ./MAKEDEV cuac$i ttyc$i;done

When it finishes making the nodes, I have ttyc00 - ttyc0v, ttyc10 -
ttyc1v, and so on, up to ttyc70 - ttyc7v.  Also the cuac0 does the same. 
I can't seem to make just the ttyc0 - tyc7.  When I enter it into
/etc/ttys as

ttyc0 "usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  unknown on insecure
...
ttyc7 "usr/libexec/getty std.38400"  unknown on insecure

and reload init (kill -1 1), after a short period of time, I get the
following errors:

getty [8198]: /dev/ttyc0: No such file or directory
getty [8201]: /dev/ttyc1: No such file or directory
getty [8202]: /dev/ttyc2: No such file or directory
getty [8203]: /dev/ttyc3: No such file or directory
getty [8204]: /dev/ttyc4: No such file or directory

The question I have is this:


Since I can't make the ttyc0, should I replace ttyc0 in /etc/ttys with
ttyc00 - ttyc07? 

If not, then how do I make ttyc0 - ttyc7.

I am running FreeBSD 2.2.1-Release, and the machine is a 386-DX/33 with 16
Mb of RAM.

Thanks to anyone who can help me out on this.
