>Release:        FreeBSD 3.0-980101-SNAP i386
>Environment:

    3.0-980101-SNAP default installation.

>Description:

    3.0-980101-SNAP creates /dev/ttyv* entries with the wrong
major/minor device numbers.

>How-To-Repeat:

# cd /dev
# ./MAKEDEV vty8
# ls -l
crw-------  1 root  wheel    0,   12 Jan  2 08:20 ttyv0
crw-------  1 root  wheel    1,   12 Jan  2 08:52 ttyv1
crw-------  1 root  wheel    2,   12 Jan  2 08:52 ttyv2
crw-------  1 root  wheel    3,   12 Jan  2 08:52 ttyv3
crw-------  1 root  wheel    4,   12 Jan  2 08:52 ttyv4
crw-------  1 root  wheel    5,   12 Jan  2 08:52 ttyv5
crw-------  1 root  wheel    6,   12 Jan  2 08:52 ttyv6
crw-------  1 root  wheel    7,   12 Jan  2 08:20 ttyv7

>Fix:

    Reverse the order of the mknod arguments for vty:

--- MAKEDEV.orig	Thu Jan  1 05:09:31 1998

! 			printf("mknod ttyv%01x c %d %d;", i, c, i); }'`
  	ln -fs ttyv0 vga	# XXX X still needs this pccons relic
