For a variety of unpleasant reasons, you have to make sure that either this zs0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure or console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure is on. 4.3 ships with console 'off'. There's all this bushwa about X and yatta yatta yatta. The answer was ttyd0 should work. Not. Oh well. If you do zs, you have to manually make zs, as in mknod /dev/zs0 c 135 0 root:wheel as zs isn't in MAKEDEV. > > I faintly remember there was something fishy out there.
