Is there a reliable console driver? I've twice crashed or hung 386BSD by
leaning on the keyboard, and I've got all 58 patches installed, except the
WD networking card one.

I'm running PCcons, though I'd rather use one that presented an 8859.1
character set.

Another problem I'm having is that if I don't have anything plugged
into my serial port when I come up, it sees it in the probe but later
attempts to open it get ENXIO. If there was a device there on boot it
works.

Finally, an update to the BSD FAQ:

	"compat" library:

	The fix to allow building programs without -lcompat suggests
	putting #defines for sgtty in termios.h. Actually, the right
	place is sgtty.h. :->
