 Here's the list:
 
 acorn32:	ttyv0
 algor:		ttyC? 
 alpha:		ttyB? ttyC?
 amiga:		ttye? ttyA? ttyB? ttyC?
 arc:		ttyC?
 atari:		ttyA? ttyB?
 bebox:		ttyv0
 cats:		ttyv0
 hp300:		ttyC? ttyM?
 hparm:		ttyv0 ttyS?
 i386:		ttyv0
 mvme68k:	ttyC? ttyZ?
 netwinder:	ttyv0
 pmax:		ttyD?
 sgimips:	ttyC? ttyZ?
 shark:		ttyv0
 vax:		ttyg? ttyJ?
 x68k:		ttye?
 
 And of course all the ports use ttyE? as wscons ttys which is in the
 pty namespace.
