Subject: [BUG] 2.5.27 devfs /dev/vc failure

Hello guys!

I was wondering why 2.5.27 all gettys are not started, but after logging
in via network a ls /dev/vc returned

/dev/vc/0

and nothing more!
And I am wondering why there is nothing running on /dev/vc/{1-6}!

I don't know the devfs code, so I will not fix it myself, but perhaps
Richard knows the problem and has fixed it while I am writing this.

Sincerly,

Nico Schottelius

good to know a one-liner killed my system.
Thanks for the fast answer, I will add the line and reboot in some minutes.
