I was annoyed by getting e-7-1 all the time, so after I installed -current
I hacked a file in /usr/src/libexec/getty.
ttydefaults.c...
term.c_cflag = TTYDEF_CFLAG;
TTYDEF_CFLAG is set (in <sys/ttydefaults.h> to CREAD | CS7 | PARENB | HUPCL)
all I did (and it is a hack) was to change ttydefaults.c to...
term.c_flag = CREAD | CS8 | HUPCL
...and rebuild getty. It's all worked fine for me!!
Lee.
