Hello,

NetBSD 0.9 getty doesn't seem to be working. It does not get
started when I put a line in /etc/ttys, and when I start it
from the shell with /usr/libexec/getty std.9600 com[0|1] it
prints something scrambled on the console that resembles of
login message, lets me log in and after loging out exits.
Nothing happens on the com port in the meantime. What am I 
doing wrong?

Cheers,
Dejan
