Hi,

I send you the output of:

1) dmesg.
2) The stderr of 'sh /etc/rc.wscons'. It's displayed in the booting
process.

I send my /etc/ttys and /etc/wscons.conf files.

I finally can type in the console, but I cannot switch. It seems ttyE0
is the device which works.

The system tells me ttyE1 is not configured.

What do you think?
