/etc/ttytype under 4.0

WHat you need to look at is the man page for ttytab.  Sun in its wisdom
abandoned the /etc/ttys & /etc/ttytype approach in favor of the ttytab
scheme.  It replaces the old system, and is easy to understand.

When you 'kill' init, ttys is re-initialized to the values found in
ttytab.  If you don't change ttytab, ttys isn't re-created (or is it, but
with the same values?).
