in netbsd, /dev/consolke is an alias for sme real device.  since we
already support(ed) ttyD{0,1,2,3} on headless 3100s and headless
5k/200s, the obvious thing is to number dc0 lines as ttyD0 through
ttyD3.

ttyD4-ttyD7 and ttyD8-ttyDb sound fine for the option slots.
if someone wanted to update the dc manpage, that'd be great.
Does that conficlt with how port-vax handles DZV/DZQ (or whatever
they are called?)

Does the web page say we support 5100s?  How is Simon's Freddo doing?
(A picture would be wonderful!)
