The "ttyflags" problem still occurs with 1.3_BETA. It's persisted
through 1.3_ALPHA, too. The description of the problem is that the
system will hang at the line "ttyflags -a" in a stock /etc/rc. More
specifically, it hangs when it gets to tty00 in a stock /etc/ttys. A
backtrace gives:
_Debugger
_nmihand
_lev7intr
_spec_open
_vn_open
_sys_open
_syscall
_trap0
and then the debugger hangs as well. This happens whether or not there
is a device attached to the Mac's serial port.
My hardware is LCIII + 68882, 36MB RAM, external SCSI. Everything works
fine with GENERIC-47. The problem only occurs with GENERIC-48 and up.
I would love to help someone debug this problem and make the LCIII a
fully functional system again.
