/etc/ttys, keymap, and X

Good Day,

Running NetBSD 5.1 -current amd64 with src.tar.gz downloaded on 02/23.

Feb 26 18:11:44 ****** /netbsd: NetBSD 5.99.45 (KERNEL_022411-$Revision:

Built new tools and world and installed yesterday.

I have been running NetBSD 5.1 -stable amd64 and i386 on two machines 
and PcBSD 8.1 i386 on a third.  One arch i386 machine has had NetBSD 
running since 09/2010 with no problems though it does not run X.  My 
problem on this machine (amd64 - DFI LanParty MB) is that I have no ttys 
to switch to using Ctrl-Alt-F# and do not seem to be able to edit 
/etc/ttys correctly.  I have read 'man ttys' but maybe not good enough.
When I turn on 'constty' and ttyE0 - tty E3, the login screen (tty0?) 
doesn't let me login;

/etc/ttys

console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt100   on  secure
constty "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt100   off secure
ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure
ttyE1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure
ttyE2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure
ttyE3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   off secure
tty00   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
tty01   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
tty02   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
tty03   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
tty04   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
tty05   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
tty06   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure
tty07   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   unknown off secure

Also, I cannot seem to get X to start.  I have done 'X -configure' as 
well as just 'xinit' or 'startx'.  The screen blanks and the keyboard 
quits working.  The machine had an ATI PCIe card in one slot but I broke 
it and am using an old S3 Virge card in one PCI slot until the new one 
comes.

Finally, it seems the keymap is wrong because when I hit any of the 
Insert/Home/Delete/PgUp/PgDn keys, control characters are displayed and 
the intended action does not happen.  Makes it kind of hard to use mc 
and I can't figure it out.  Sorry for the long post.  Any help is 
greatly appreciated.
