  I think it was done that way since /dev/console will always work, 
whereas the tty line to use changed at one point when we cut over from 
the ISA uart device to the PCI uart device resulting in a different tty 
device being used. However, it looks like we may switch back to using a 
PCI-ISA bridge device and that will change things again :(

  For now, you can edit the stock /etc/ttys as follows:

-ttyu2  "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
+ttyu2   "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on  secure

later,

Peter.
