The Installer wasn't updated to build the wscons devices that were
introduced with 1.5 and that's what /dev/ttyE0 is used for. The
/dev/ttye0 device that the Install builds is for systems that don't use
wscons, and its a different device.
The user may:
1) boot single user and build the wscons devices
2) install using sysinst (which builds the wscons devices)
3) modify /etc/ttys to use /dev/ttye0 and disable wscons (I think this
works)
We need to update the Installer to build wscons devices in the "Build
Devices" option or all switch to sysinst. The first option requires
someone with Think C to modify the Installer source and rebuild it. The
second requires some additional work and isn't really a viable option for
1.5, but is for 1.5.1 or 1.6.
