>Description:
(I may simply be wrong; my install partially failed, so I just
untarred everything.)
When I did my install, I found a *nearly* fully populated '/dev' on
my new root partition.
Fully populated, that is, except for /dev/ttyE0, which wscons needed,
and where getty wanted to run my console login. Thus, no logins.
>How-To-Repeat:
Install on port-i386 by untarring everything. May also happen
normally; I'm assuming device nodes were mostly made, since all
the others were fine.
