Hi,
I've installed NetBSD 1.0 (sparc, if that matters..) and am
finding a weird thing with having a terminal on ttya - when I logout,
the login: prompt never comes back.. "ps ax" from the console shows
getty as being there, but nothing appears on the other end (though
after a couple of seconds, it does echo characters typed there..)
the terminal is, in fact my Amiga connected via a nullmodem cable
(fully wired), if I drop DTR (CD is wired to DTR) then the login
prompt comes back..
any ideas as to why this is happening? it works fine under
SunOS..
