Disable the getty on /dev/console (and /dev/ttyv0 if you use syscons). The sleep is only necessary if you are using syscons or possibly some other VT system. '(sleep 5; /usr/X386/bin/xdm)&' is the actual command. It is probably a good idea to setup /usr/X386/lib/X11/xdm/Xservers with a line ":0 local /usr/X386/bin/X vt01" if you want an X server on ttyv0 (for syscons). -- adam@veda.is
