Change Details

Improve missing tty handling in init(8). This removes a check that did nothing - it was checking for ENXIO, which, with devfs, is longer returned - and was badly placed anyway, and replaces it with similar one that works, and is done just before starting getty, instead of being done when rereading ttys. From the practical point of view, this makes init(8) handle disappearing terminals (ie /dev/ttyU*) gracefully, without unneccessary getty restarts and resulting error messages.
