I'm probably being equally dense, but I have used the -current MAKEDEV
(MAKEDEV all doesn't include wscons, is that right?) and I have the
following in /dev

I've using the standard 1.3F build as shipped with a -current kernel
(or the snapshot kernel from Todd Whitesel). With these I get the
"operation not supported by device" errors plus the panic when a
mgetty starts on tty00.

What else to I need to change?
