I get these below messages on the console of a SunOS SRAP22 5.8 Generic
sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-4 system

what problem do these below messages indicate and how do I fix it?

--------------console messages----------------------
set_termio - get_ttymode failed - errno = 62
initial termio on /dev/console failed
--------------console messages----------------------

This development system had been shutdown for many months. Today I
booted it up and started seeing these messages on the console

below is the /etc/inittab in case its helpful to diagnose
