Cool.

Bad news.  Audio on NetBSD/mac68k isn't working, yet.

You can log in as root and use the /dev/MAKEDEV script to create more
ttys.  But you'll probably also need some more ptys if you're telnetting
into the box or if you're using dt.

	# cd /dev
	# ./MAKEDEV ttyp
	# ./MAKEDEV tyyq
	# ./MAKEDEV ttyr
	# ./MAKEDEV ptyp
	# ./MAKEDEV ptyq
	# ./MAKEDEV ptyr

This should give you more than you can ever keep track of!
