Am I doing something wrong? This is a quirk in the install scripts. I found 'cat' in /tmp. I think it has to do with putting cat in /bin while /bin/cat (from the bootflops) is acutually running. This will give a 'text busy' problem. > 2. I can't get the serial ports to work. I MAKEDEV'd sio01 and sio02 > and tried to use tip and cu.

You did put'm in your config file I hope? Does the kernel report the sio ports on bootup? And double check the /dev/entries, I think I saw MAKEDEV making sio001 on my system once.
