>Environment:
FreeBSD dubbeldrank.leiden.webweaving.org 5.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #7: Sun Jun 16 00:55:56 CEST 2002     dirkx@foem.leiden.webweaving.org:/usr/src/sys/i386/compile/SJOESJOE  i386
>Description:
At the end of rc.devfs:

	# Setup DEVFS, ie permissions, links etc.
	#
	ln -fs /dev/ttyv0 /dev/vga

regardless of the presense of a vga/ttyv.

>How-To-Repeat:
install according to diskless on a headless machine (e.g. net4501).
>Fix:
Add something along the lines of

	if [ -e /dev/ttyv0 ]; then
		ln -fs /dev/ttyv0 /dev/vga
	fi
