The OSF/1 console or the NetBSD console?

This is bad.   I have been operating with one machine at home and
hadn't had a chance to try that yet.   I wonder if this is a NetBSD
vs. OSF/1 interoperability problem or complete lossage...

Hm.   I'm glad to see that the serial drivers work well enough that
you're getting a login prompt, anyway - I don't get that far on my
MAXine, which uses a different serial chip.   The rx23 is a SCSI-based
floppy, right?   There's probably hosage related to it having
removable media.   Let me know when you have patches for it!   :')

Rats!   That's really weird.   Let me know if you come up with a patch
- otherwise, I'll probably come up with one soon.   I need dmesg to do
a decent installer...

Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you were able to come up multi-user -
that means that the problem I've been having (which I haven't looked
at since I started building Emacs) is a kernel problem, and the bits
I uploaded aren't useless!

Is there any demand at this point for Emacs and perl binaries?
