version 7.2 from cd. I installed freebsd 7.2 after booting from cd, =
going to prompt and doing set console=3D"comconsole".

When I go to edit the /etc/ttys sysinstaller is just putting me back to =
prior menu. When I try through the sysinstall menu showing functions it =
says the file does not exist!

Without setting ttyd0 to 'vt100 no' I cant get a login prompt on console =
once I pull the cd and want access to console - before I can remote ssh =
in.

Pertinent advice and 'please use other mailer' responses welcome.
