I humbly apologise for wasting everyone's time.  I feel like such an idiot.

The "obvious" problem was with my /etc/ttys - I misread the output of diff,
thinking the mistakes were in the latest distribution, not mine - (I rarely
think to blame myself - perhaps I will in future).

In return for this timewasting, I hereby promise to do some ports (I'll start
with the cfs crypto filesystem), and buy beers to anyone who ever comes to
visit Amsterdam.

Gary
