I have no idea what I did here, but suddenly, my console loses job control on a regular basis. Pretty much the first thing I did when I installed NetBSD 0.9 two nights ago was to mknod vga c 12 0, and change /etc/ttys so that the second and third line (turn off console, turn on vga) were the ones being used for the console. However, now, all of a sudden, the tty is all wacked out. ^C, ^Z, and pretty much everything else doesn't work on a regular basis (It works for quite some time it seems, and then suddenly wacks out). After the wackout, any line entered is just echoed back. No control character has it's normal characteristics. It flaked out before I went to bed last night and when I woke up this morning to fiddle, I had a login prompt (not a reboot), but when I logged in, I got the following message: Warning, no access to tty (inappropriate ioctl for device) Thus no job control Now, I KNOW I'm doing something stupid here. Does anybody know what it is? (This worked the last couple of times I installed 0.9 (I've got the mighty morphin' disk drive system :-)) Marc 'em. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Wandschneider Seattle, WA Barney the Dinosaur sings!
