Umm, I didn't notice ttyE[0-7] (and tty[FGH][0-7]) were
already used (or reserved) by 'dmf*' in src/etc/etc.vax/MAKEDEV.conf.

Should I revert "adding wscons in all_md" in MAKEDEV.conf?
Or is it worth to consider to change device node names
for 4th (and further) dmf(4)?

It looks dmf has never been enabled in GENERIC

and even src/sys/arch/vax/uba/dmf.c has not been ported from 4.4BSD?

Oh, it looks my 4.4BSD-Lite2 CD-ROM doesn't contains vax/uba/dmf.c,
but now it's in public as CSRG repo?
