Hi,

I've just installed NetBSD 1.2/pmax on a DecStation 5000/25 and seem to 
have everything working except that it refuses to boot directly into 
multi-user mode.  If I exit the single-user shell it continues to boot 
into multi-user mode without errors.  Am I missing something obvious?

The boot messages are as follows:

KN02-CA V2.0m    (PC: 0x800312a4, SP: 0xffffef40)
Boot: 3/rz3/netbsd
Size: 1009136+0+90900
Starting at 0x80030000

I'm not sure where the `-s' flage in the third from last line is coming 
from -- I've got the boot variable in the monitor set to "3/rz3/netbsd". 

Any ideas?  Let me know if there's more information that would be useful.
