f2d7865517 Enable a login console on ttyu0 by default if it is a serial console. This
prevents surprising effects post-installation on serial-only x86 systems
(e.g. bhyve) where the kernel messages will appear, rc scripts will run,
and then there will be no login prompt and you will be locked out of the
system.

Thanks to Devin Teske and Peter Grehan for ideas and testing. With this
patch, it may also be possible to unify all or most of the machine-specific
ttys files.

773eec475a Add a stock libmap32.conf for amd64. The first two lines have no effect
except to document the hardcoded standard library search path for 32-bit
binaries.  The third line performs the equivalent substitution for the
private library directory.

Ironically, these entries rely on functionality which is only available
in the COMPAT_32BIT version of rtld-elf.

b15ce1ef26 Remove the reference to pseudo-terminals from the description.
Pseudo-terminals are no longer listed in this file, since the utmpx
implementation doesn't depend on ttyslot().

bcc7f0f408 Remove pseudo-terminals from ttys(5).
When we had utmp(5), we had to list all the psuedo-terminals in ttys(5)
to make ttyslot(3) function properly. Now that pututxline(3) deals with
slot allocation internally (not based on TTY names), we don't need to
list all the TTYs on the system in ttys(5) to make user accounting work
properly.

This patch removes all the entries from the /etc/ttys files, but also
the pts(4) entries that were appended implicitly, which was added in
r154838.

e42fc36867 Switch the default terminal emulation style to xterm for most platforms.
Right now syscons(4) uses a cons25-style terminal emulator. The
disadvantages of that are:

- Little compatibility with embedded devices with serial interfaces.
- Bad bandwidth efficiency, mainly because of the lack of scrolling
  regions.
- A very hard transition path to support for modern character sets like
  UTF-8.

Our terminal emulation library, libteken, has been supporting
xterm-style terminal emulation for months, so flip the switch and make
everyone use an xterm-style console driver.

I still have to enable this on i386. Right now pc98 and i386 share the
same /etc/ttys file. I'm not going to switch pc98, because it uses its
own Kanji-capable cons25 emulator.

IMPORTANT: What to do if things go wrong (i.e. graphical artifacts):

- Run the application inside script(1), try to reduce the problem and
  send me the log file.
- In the mean time, you can run `vidcontrol -T cons25' and `export
  TERM=cons25' so you can run applications the same way you did before.
  You can also build your kernel with `options TEKEN_CONS25' to make all
  virtual terminals use the cons25 emulator by default.

fcbfce6643 Remove the note about using vt220, which makes no sense at all.
vt220 will not work better. Even though it probably will remove warnings
about unknown terminal types, a cons25 emulator is not compatible with
vt220 at all.

5ebad6a76a Remove pts(4) entries from /etc/ttys.
Even though I increased the amount of pts(4) entries in /etc/ttys some
time ago, I didn't realize back then those entries shouldn't have been
there in the first place.

I just looked at the getttyent() source code and it turns out when you
call setttyent(), it walks through /dev/pts and looks for the device
with the highest number. After you receive EOF's from getttyent(), it
makes up entries for pts(4) devices.

This means that adding entries for pts(4) is somewhat harmful, because
if you now traverse the list, you get redundant entries, so just remove
them.

0a3bd811c6 Restore 256 pty(4) entries.
As discussed with Robert Watson on the src-committers list, it is safer
to keep at least some pty(4) entries in /etc/ttys, for applications that
roll their own PTY allocation routine and only search for BSD-style
PTY's.

This means we've now just toggled the amount of entries for pts(4) and
pty(4).

fa38c73642 Remove old BSD-style entries from /etc/ttys and increase pts(4) to 512.
Because we now use pts(4)-style PTY's exclusively, there is no use for
these entries in /etc/ttys. Right now the pts(4) entries only go from 0
to 255. Because we're going to touch these files anyway, increase the
number to 511.

f4d811f0b2 Make uart(4) the default serial port driver on i386 and amd64.
The uart(4) driver has the advantage of supporting a wider variety of
hardware on a greater amount of platforms. This driver has already been
the standard on platforms such as ia64, powerpc and sparc64.

I've decided not to change anything on pc98. I'd rather let people from
the pc98 team look at this.

4b065e2ce1 Per previous announcement, remove the old version of the rc system.
All functionality from the previous system has been preserved, and
users should still customize their system boot with the familiar
methods, rc.conf, rc.conf.local, rc.firewall, sysctl.conf, etc.

Users who have customized versions of scripts that have been removed
should take great care when upgrading, since the compatibility code
that used those old scripts has also been removed.
