Hi,

i bet you've installed the complete netbsd stuff onto the root partition
w/o mounting your user
partition first (like mount /dev/sd0g /usr). What now happens is that at
boot time the system
mounts your (empty) user partition at /usr, actually not containing any
files. All your installed
files live completely unaccessible in the /usr folder of your root
partition. Thats why the
system cannot exec e.g. the getty process.

You CAN mount a file system "over" an existing directory. That doesn't
delete any files,
it just makes the files in the existing directory unaccessible.

Everything clear?

Cheers and have a nice weekend,

Ivo

(I did my virgin install two days ago on a Performa 630, unfortunately w/o
castrated 68040).

Subject:  How 68k to boot multiuser mode??




Greetings from Finland :-)
I just tried install NetBSD 1.3.2 to my Mac IIcx and I get it to boot to
single user mode. But when I tried to boot it to multiuser mode I get
some "mystical" errors and I don't know now how to fix it.
When IIcx try to boot to multi user everytuhin goes ok except when its
try to start local dameons:
It change kernel security level from 0 to 1 then that error comes:
its prompt to sceen following:
"init: can't exec getty 'usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/tty00:
permission denied"
I found Your hint from Netbsd FAQ:s and change that /etc/ttys how You
tell to change but it wont help. Then I try to mount that /dev/tty00 to
/usr/libexec/getty but it said "need bolck device" and wont work...
Questions:
a) Do I have configure more that /etc/ttys or/also that /etc/rc.conf? I
have to some edit what I edit there?
b) what that when I try to mount that tty00 means that "Need block
device"?
c) How I get that Netbsd 1.3.2 to boot to multiuser mode?
