port-vax/56343: MAKEDEV all doesn't (skips ptys)
>Number: 56343
>Category: port-vax
>Synopsis: MAKEDEV all doesn't (skips ptys)
>Confidential: no
>Severity: serious
>Priority: medium
>Responsible: port-vax-maintainer
>State: open
>Class: sw-bug
>Submitter-Id: net
>Arrival-Date: Sun Aug 01 16:25:00 +0000 2021
>Originator: Josh Moyer
>Release: 9.1 and 9.2
>Organization:
NODOMAIN.NET.
>Environment:
VAX, GENERIC/INSTALL
>Description:
When setting up a diskless VAX you have to manually run MAKEDEV all. However, even after so doing, sysinst is unable to call openpty for its sub-commands unless the user has run MAKEDEV pty0.
>How-To-Repeat:
Follow https://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/netboot/, then try to set the root password (or any other task that calls openpty()) from sysinst.
>Fix:
# cd /dev ; /bin/sh MAKEDEV pty0
