Actually, my take on this is to start it from rc.local (like one usually
did in SunOS). This sort of follows how one sets up pcvt options on the
i386 port (or, at least, how _I_ set up pcvt options on my i486 :-)
Also, it'd be sort of pointless to start it upon existence on a Sun 3 or
Sparc with only a serial console...
