Nothing. Looks ok from what you describe. Are the startup scripts in /etc
up-to-date?

At this time we only offer sup unfortunately. A cvs server is in the
works and should be available soon.

Right. Copy /usr/src/etc/etc.${MACHINE}/MAKEDEV to /dev and then
cd /dev; sh ./MAKEDEV all
You might want to link /dev/ttyE? to /dev/ttyv? If you have old programs
that use ttyv?. Also make sure that you have the right entry in /etc/ttys
for your console.
