These are questions I've had for a while, thought it was time I got 
someone to answer them :)

I keep getting a lot of "Last message repeated..." errors.  What are these
caused by, and better yet, how do I cure them?

I've set up xdm, which is all well and good, but I get "getty is repeating
too quickly on tty09, sleeping".  How do I stop these?

Another thing about xdm, when I do a reboot if it is running, the machine
will not reboot, but will either put me into debuging mode, or completely
lock the machine.

Strangely enough, I too am getting a lot of serial buffer overflows - is
a cure in sight?  And I'm getting network card buffer overflows too, which
can be kind of nasty (I-cubed card).  

No doubt the answer to this is blantantly obvious, I just haven't seen the
answer anywhere - how do I boot X in 32k colours?  And is there a way to 
increase the number of palette entries so applications don't keep running
out of colours?

I'm afraid I don't recall my kernel version at this point, but it's dated
mid December.  My machine is a RPC700, with 21MB.


Incidentally, I have the source to Sather (If you don't know what this is
then don't worry :), I might be conviced to have a go at compiling it
for RiscBSD if anyone is interested  - It's already been ported for another 
NetBSD version.

Thanks a lot, Peter
