This got it. I recently setup ptyfs so I could get more than 16 ptys, and after that (it seems) an etcupdate deleted a bunch of devices. I toggled the ptyfs in my attempts, but that obviously didn’t fix anything. To fix quickly in this single case, I MAKEDEV tty00 to get things started. So: tmpfs on dev - I don’t see examples in the manage or /usr/share — what gotchas or standards should I be aware of? Thanks for your console assessment - it was spot-on. -bch > > Martin >
