I would like to establish multiple terminals under NetBSD 1.0. | What I am referring to is the ability to hit something like alt-F1, alt-F2, | etc. and have multiple logons. We currently have this type of set up on | our SCO box at work and I would very much like to have it under NetBSD on | my system at home. | | Is this something I might find in an FAQ? Is this even possible? | Yes, it is possible, in your kernel config file, comment out the pc0 line, and uncomment the vt0 line (it will look something like the following) #pc0 at isa? port 0x60 irq 1 vt0 at isa? port 0x60 irq 1 you will then need to rebuild the kernel. There is some nice reading material in .../src/sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt/ as well as some useful utilities. happy holidays --jeff
