System: NetBSD lanfeust.sis.pasteur.fr 2.0B NetBSD 2.0B (LANFEUST) #3: Mon Apr 5 11:00:16 CEST 2004 njoly@lanfeust.sis.pasteur.fr:/local/src/NetBSD/obj/amd64/sys/arch/amd64/compile/LANFEUST amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
Without a DEFAULTVT value for xdm(1), i experienced some strange behaviour
with the X server:
- At boot, if run from rc scripts, the X server eats all CPU (works fine
  if manually restarted).
- If manually run, ttyE1 console display is erased.
- If stopped, the active console is ttyE1 even if launched from ttyE0.

Setting defaultvt to `vt05', like i386i, in xdm(1) Xservers config file
solves this problem.
>How-To-Repeat:
launch xdm(1) at boot with rc scripts on amd64.
