pcvt is missing in cdevsw[] (in /sys/i386/i386/conf.c).

I've got a partial patch yesterday, but since i nuked my src tree
today on my way to CVS-current, i've lost this one. :-/

Basically, you need to re#define all the scXXXX entries to pcXXXX
in case NSC == 0 && NVT > 0.

Note that the resulting kernel still experienced the ``can login in
the console VT only once'' symptom.  I'm working on this, but don't
have anything applicable yet.
