The line in /etc/rc:
ttyflags -a
is definitely NOT returning, so I'm pretty sure the problem is in
that line. The /etc/ttys file looks fine...in fact, it is the
distribution /etc/ttys file. Actually, the whole installation is just
a fresh install from the distribution tarballs.
What do all those ioctl errors mean? I *DID* build my devices, by the
way.
