On a fresh install of FreeBSD 5.2.1 just a basic install, my log file is filling with
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv7, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv6, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv3, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv4, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv5, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv1, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv2, sleeping 30 secs
init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv7, sleeping 30 secs

repeating over and over, every 30secs

anyone have any ideas?

DIAGNOSTICS
getty repeating too quickly on port %s, sleeping. A process being
started to service a line is exiting quickly each time it is started.
This is often caused by a ringing or noisy terminal line.

Init will sleep for 30 seconds, then continue trying to
start the process.
