You didn't upgrade /etc, did you. You ttys file is old. Before you
were using pcvt and now you are using wscons, and wscons doesn't
support the ttyv devices. Upgrade *that*. There are likely other
config files you didn't get new versions of, either. Half upgrading a
machine is a bad idea. :(

Bad to use an old MAKEDEV on a new system, btw, although in this
instance it would cause no additional harm.
