Note vax still use ttyw0 (at least in src/etc/etc.vax/ttys) for
wscons ttys, but it looks other ports have switched to using
ttyE[0-7] rather than ttyw[0-7] for wscons (actually wsdisplay) ttys:
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/etc/etc.i386/Attic/MAKEDEV.diff?r1=1.64&r2=1.65
>> change wscons tty names to ttyE* to avoid clashes with the pty namespace
I think we no longer use pty in /dev (using ptyfs instead)
so there is no conflict, but I wonder if it's worth for vax
to use ttyE[0-7] for wscons in ttys(5) and remove "vt0" target
for ttyw[0-7] from MAKEDEV.
Thanks,
