match all the port names.
Start using shell functions to avoid duplication.
Make tty* independent of cua*. Restore support for old names (tty0 ==
ttyd0, cua0 = cuaa0...).
Restore making of lpt1 and lpt2 by default.
Keep umask 077 for making vty*. World-ioctable vtys are huge security holes
because of bugs in syscons.
Make vga if a vty is made. It may still be required for X. It got nuked
with pc*.
Start using umask consistently to avoid using chmod.
file anymore after this. My link makes it too painful to make
interactive mods, and I don't have the CVS tree here so making changes
for "previous history" have to get done on freefall, with the corresponding
degree of pain.

|Subject: A little problem with MAKEDEV
|
|For a while now, MAKEDEV's been kinda neat: you create the cua* files,
|and it deletes the tty* files; you create the tty* files and it
|deletes the corresponding cua* files. K00l! :-)
[Ed Note - I think this behavior was wrong, and this fix better].
created by Amancio Hasty (specificly, this, in conjunction with his sound
driver mods for dual-mode DMA will allow VAT compiled for BSD/386 1.1 to
run under FreeBSD 2.x.)
2. Make this say it is 2.0.0 (Development).
3. Update the stty commands to say ^H for erase.
4. Update the disklabel commands to use the new 4.4 syntax.
be installed on, so they should be in /dev as well.
Removed the smoking remains of dcf*. I didn't realize that it had made it
into MAKEDEV. Gone from cdevsw long time ago, gone from /dev now.
actually have a printer connected or online:
- MAKEDEV: remove all signs of lpa
add lpctl? devices (minor # = unit + 128)
- usr.sbin/Makefile add lptcontrol
- sys/i386/isa/lpt.c implement the LP_BYPASS flag: when a unit is
opened with this flag set, the printer is
not primed, and no check is made to see that
the printer is online. This can only be used
to pass ioctls. (giving us /dev/lpctl?)
- lptcontrol.c use /dev/lpctl? (LP_BYPASS)
-f flag removed, -u flag added
- lptcontrol.8 document changes in lptcontrol
rewrite using mandoc macros

upon disk type. In far more cases than not this is the optimal setting
for any disk drive made after 1990.
This now means all installs will have the disks newfs'ed with either:
newfs -b 8192 -f 1024 -d 0 -n 1
or
newfs -n 4096 -f 512 -d 0 -n 1
depending on what the user chooses for the blocking factor.
date!!) and rename them to something more eye-catching so people will read them
again (considering the previous state of affairs, I'm actually rather glad they didn't!).
1. Add to secr and bindists to possibly save the occasional fool who
doesn't RTFM and uses the wrong command to extract this (or even someone
who's legitimately using this to extract on top of a bindist somewhere
*else*).
2. Do the right thing with any symlinks in the src tree. Right now, we're
free of the buggers, but just in case.
The kernel configs already support this, so with a boot floppy or a utility
like booteasy, the user should be able to install and boot off the second drive.
Hurrah.
The configure function now tells the user to type "man 5 resolver"
for more info on resolv.conf, but mentions that the bindist must
be fully installed before this can be done (actually a user won't
have reached this stage if he doesn't have an installed bindist ;-)
2. Added notes that tell the user a little bit about how to use syscons
since they'll be running it from the outset now and would probably like
to know how to switch terminals.
