Hi,
  This sounds you did not update you /etc/ttys file from the 1.3 etc
set but have updated your /etc/gettytab.

Older installations use to use a RPC tty type for getty and this had an
entry in /etc/getty tab. From 1.3_ALPHA onwards the Pc tty type should be
used. By the sound of it you have a newer gettytab but your /etc/ttys file
still has lines like

ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty RPC"        vt100   on secure

which should now be reading

ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt100   on secure


If you have RPC in your ttys but not in your /etc/gettytab then you will
notice that things like joe draw the display very very slowly.

Cheers,
