I have had NetBSD on my computer for a month now and I can't fig-
ure out how to get login to behave properly. When I reboot or
start my computer, the computer goes through the typical bootup
routine, displays "Login:" and times out after 300s leaving me with
"#" for a prompt, this isn't correct.
  Since I have discoveredthe problem, I found and compiled another
login routine. It times out sooner===>it is not the login routine.
OK, what is the problem, 'cause I'm missing it.
If it is of any help my hardware configuration is:
AMD 33/386DX
CTX SVGA/VGA monitor
Trident TVGA VGA board
Western Digital 81MB IDE drive
