This one seems to work. Next time I'll remember to chase the newfs bunny,
too.

I also "./MAKEDEV all"'ed in /dev, and that seems to have resulted in the
desired population explosion there.

However, I'm still getting the endless error message at boot:

"init: can't exec getty '/usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttye0: No
such file or directory".

What is responsible for this "exec getty"? And why doesn't it time out?
What is ttye0? I've had a look in rc.conf but didn't see any reference to
ttye0. I've also looked online, but queries about similar error messages at
boot were either unanswered or, if answered, not very helpful...
