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. Bruce
