Bug 104376

Description Michaël Le Barbier 2006-10-13 13:00:38 UTC 
The syscons(4) manual page asserts that device are numbered following a DECIMAL RADIX scheme, e.g. the Alt-F11 shortcut brings on the elfth Virtual TTY, named `ttyv10' in syscons(4). It happens that `ls /dev' shows `ttyva' instead, thus following an HEXADECIMAL RADIX scheme. The documentation names are then incoherent with the actual names.

How-To-Repeat: ls /dev/ttyv*
man 4 syscons
