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.
