Funny, I was noticing the same thing today!

I wrote another /etc/rc which was a lot cleaner, and remembered a BSD
system (a VAX 11/750 running ULTRIX - a BSD look-alike) that had it.
I looked at the /etc/ttytype file so that I would be creating the "same"
"compatible" format.

A piece of mine looks like this:

pc7300	/dev/w1
pc7300	/dev/w2
tvi925	/dev/tty000
dumb	/dev/ph1

and so on.  The fields are separated by tabs, but maybe spaces would be
safer.  Either way, I haven't noticed any trouble with tset.
