Otherwise you have to create the devices by hand. For those, who don't have the syscons-MAKEDEV, and are too lazy to type: rm /dev/tty0[0123] mknod tty01 c 12 0 mknod tty02 c 12 1 mknod tty03 c 12 2 mknod tty04 c 12 3 mknod tty05 c 12 4 mknod tty06 c 12 5 mknod tty07 c 12 6 mknod tty08 c 12 7 mknod tty09 c 12 8 mknod tty10 c 12 9 mknod tty11 c 12 10 mknod tty12 c 12 11 chown root tty0[1-9] tty1[0-2] chgrp tty tty0[1-9] tty1[0-2] chmod 666 tty0[1-9] tty1[0-2] Some changes should be applied to /etc/ttys: # # @(#)ttys 5.1 (Berkeley) 4/17/89 # # name getty type status comments # vga "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 off secure tty01 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty02 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty03 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty04 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty05 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty06 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty07 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure tty08 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" pc3 on secure com01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure com01 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure com02 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure com03 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" unknown off secure ttyp0 none network ttyp1 none network ttyp2 none network ttyp3 none network ttyp4 none network ttyp5 none network ttyp6 none network ttyp7 none network ttyp8 none network ttyp9 none network ttypa none network ttypb none network ttypc none network ttypd none network ttype none network ttypf none network ttyq0 none network ttyq1 none network ttyq2 none network ttyq3 none network ttyq4 none network ttyq5 none network ttyq6 none network ttyq7 none network ttyq8 none network ttyq9 none network ttyqa none network ttyqb none network ttyqc none network ttyqd none network ttyqe none network ttyqf none network kill -1 1, or reboot should activate the changes There is a another bug: If you don't have the changes, descrivbed above, applied, press ALT F2, type some characters, press ALT F3, type some characters too, and finally switch back to tty01 with ALT F1, then you will get a nasty panic, caused trap 12 ( don't remember ) -- Ciao Hermann ------ Microsoft failing at something is not a sterling proof of impossibility ...
