 | >Description:
 | On a freshly-installed 7.0_BETA virtual machine, having fdesc mounted over /dev causes "su" to fail:
 | 
 | vagrant% grep fdesc /etc/fstab
 | fdesc /dev fdesc ro,-o=union 0 0
 | vagrant% ls -l /dev/tty
 | crw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  1, 0 Apr 20 20:07 /dev/tty
 | vagrant% df -h |grep fdesc
 | fdesc                                            1.0K       1.0K         0B 100% /dev
 | vagrant% su -
 |  Inappropriate ioctl for device
 | su: Sorry: conversation failure
 | vagrant% uname -a
 | NetBSD vagrant 7.0_BETA NetBSD 7.0_BETA (GENERIC.201504181110Z) amd64
 | 
 | >How-To-Repeat:
 | - install 7.0_BETA
 | mount fdesc with:
 | fdesc /dev fdesc ro,-o=union 0 0
 | 
 
 I fixed that in:
 
 1.125        (christos 05-Sep-14):      if (error == 0 && ix == FD_CTTY)
 1.125        (christos 05-Sep-14):              (*vpp)->v_type = VCHR;
