It'd be really nice to 'fix' this for 4.3, but I would totally understand that this is not something to delay the release for- it's an easy RTF to fix this from single user after having installed an 8200 (like, is there anyone *else* out there who has 8200s to try other than me or Wilko?). In any case, *I* edit my ttys to enable getty on the console- that way I don't have to go hand make a /dev/zs0 (which isn't in the MAKEDEV because there's been no need, errm, to do so).
