Hello and Thank You.
I am using FreeBSD 2.1.6

I am trying to add more virtual terminals so that I can access various 
emails by hitting Alt-F#.

I have added the proper text to the /etc/ttys file.
I went to /dev and tried this:
./MAKEDEV ttyv4

I receive:
ttyv4 - no such device name

I appreciate your help.
