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.

a4ebbf932d turn off getty(8) on ttyv[0-7]. We don't support syscons on ia64 and
do not have these device special files. Where this previously failed
quietly, it now emits annoying but complete messages at best and
incomprehensible prefixes on average. During all of October, this is
a string of 16 O's, as in:

5263ba5844 Replace the ttyd[0-3] entries with ttyu[0-3]. The former are the
device special files created by sio(4). The latter are the device
special files created by uart(4). As of this moment sio(4) is not
supported on ia64... by me, that is :-)

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.
