README.386BSD didn't tell people how to make the devices. If you install kernel-1.2.codrv-fix-1.tar.Z, create new /dev entries: mknod /dev/kbd c 15 0 mknod /dev/vga c 15 128 rm /dev/kbd /dev/vga /dev/pccons Put /dev/console rather than /dev/vga in /etc/ttys. With Holger's driver xdm will work with /dev/console even when invoked from /etc/rc. This will go into README.386BSD and I'll upload a revision to agate soon. Rich
