NetBSD macbsd 1.5 NetBSD 1.5 (GENERIC) #0: Sun Nov 19 14:20:10 PST 2000     root2@c610:/usr/cvs/src/sys/arch/mac68k/compile/GENERIC mac68k
>Description:
"Build devices" in the mac os netbsd/mac68k installer doesn't create the ttyE0 device for the console. After a basic install on a virgin Quadra 650, when the system tries to perform a multiuser boot, it complains about /dev/ttyE0 not found. I don't have the exact error message here, as the system now works and I don't want to break it in order to get the error :P. The startup continues for a while longer, then no more output appears on the console, and the machine appears to hang.
>How-To-Repeat:
I got the error consistently after installing base.tgz, kernel.tgz and etc.tgz, then using the "Build Devices" menu item. After a reboot into single user and changing configured=NO to yes, rebooting multi user yields the error.
>Fix:
To get round this I booted into single user and used "sh MAKEDEV all" in the /dev directory. The node for ttyE0 was created (along with all the others). After a reboot the machine now works great.

Many thanks to those working on mac68k and netbsd. You've given an old mac a new useful life. Keep up the good work
