Oh yeah. I hasn't quite understood the significance of the ttyE*, i.e.
that ttyv* were pcvt and ttyE were the wscons equivalents.

Is there any need for keyboard mapping utilities (akin to kcon) with
wscons?

Still no joy with serial ttys and mgetty:

Fault with intr_depth > 0
tr shows:

_data_abort_handler
_vm_lock
_spec_write
_ufsspec_write
_vm_write
_dofilewrite
_sys_write
_syscall

I'm using Todd W.s snapshot as todays -current sup just spews out:

Undefined instruction 0xf01183d4 @ 0xf01c7620 in kernel

Final problem is that XF86_S3V doesn't work with wscons. Is it possible
to rebuild from Xfree86-3.3.2 sources and are any patches available?
