I've got a headless 4/110 that I am trying to install
netbsd 1.2 on. It boots just fine, but when
entering single user mode from the miniroot, it says:
enter path for shell or sh(return)
enter terminal (sun)
or something like that. Unfortunately, it is clear that it
chokes on the input from the serial port. Whichever
key I press will cause an instant ^h for backspace etc, and then
a reset of the shell when I try to enter a new terminal type.
Is there a fix for this? Presumably it is not my terminal
setup, since this works flawlessly under sunos.
Is there another miniroot, or can I pass some arguments
to the kernel that will fix the problem>?
Thanks for any help
