This bug/misfeature was introduced into NetBSD-1.1 just prior to its release. There's an official patch for it, and a few other problems as well. You can pick it up at ftp.netbsd.org, or at ftp.unit.no, which is probably closer in your case. Apply it to your kernel source tree, build a new kernel, install it, and reboot. Voila! Your problem should be gone. -jarle -- "It takes thought to right software" -- parke@star.enet.dec.com
