I just upgraded from 4.0.3 to 4.1.1, and now the terminal hanging off the
first serial port on my SPARC Station 1 doesn't respond.  I get the
console message :

getty: /dev/ttya: No such device or address

I've tried both ttya and ttyb and double checked my ttytab file.  I'm
running an untouched GENERIC kernel at the moment.

/dev/ttya looks fine : crw-rw-rw-  1 root      12,   0 Feb 11 14:58 /dev/ttya

Any suggestions?  I heard that this was a vicious problem in old SunOS's
in the past.  I welcome any help, because I've only been managing unix for
a year...
