I presume this might have something to do with the fact I don't have a monitor/keyboard connected (headless) to the Ultra/1E, sort of like OpenBSD automatically enables a serial console when no keyboard is connected.
It seems that devfs doesn't want to create any ttyX nodes in /dev, I've even tried to enabled full compatability mode for old devices in the devfsd.conf but it's still the same. I could remove all the agetty entries in the inittab but then I wouldn't have a login console if I ever needed one...
Is there something glaringly obvious I'm missing here?

Hi,
remove all agetty line expect the ttyS0 from /etc/inittab, and reload init (init -q).
Example for remove:
c1:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 38400 tty1 linux
And you can remove conseolefont from boot runlevel.
rc-update del consolefont boot
regards Martin

Yes, but that in itself wouldn't give me any console login terminals and all subsequent remote logins (i.e. ssh) would be on terminals pty/sX (serial I presume) because no pty/X are available.

Removing those entries won't effect remote logins. They just control the local virtual consoles.
On a headless machine, my /etc/inittab looks like the following (with comments omitted);
| Code: |
id:3:initdefault:
si::sysinit:/sbin/rc sysinit
rc::bootwait:/sbin/rc boot
l0:0:wait:/sbin/rc shutdown
l1:S1:wait:/sbin/rc single
l2:2:wait:/sbin/rc nonetwork
l3:3:wait:/sbin/rc default
l4:4:wait:/sbin/rc default
l5:5:wait:/sbin/rc default
l6:6:wait:/sbin/rc reboot
c0:12345:respawn:/sbin/agetty 9600 ttyS0 vt100
ca:12345:ctrlaltdel:/sbin/shutdown -r now
x:a:once:/etc/X11/startDM.sh
