Check that you don't have ttyd* with the same device numbers as tty0*.
In FreeBSD-2.0, MAKEDEV allows creating both but not both at the same time.
In FreeBSD-current, MAKEDEV only creates ttyd* and doesn't attempt to
clean up junk tty0* left by a previous version.  You shouldn't have
tty0* if you are running -current.
