Hi port-vax Folks:

I am installing 1.4 on a MicroVAX II. I have the distribution sets
installed on my drive (ra1), and have written a bootblock using
disklabel -B ra1 from the miniroot.

I halted and rebooted the machine, said B DUA1 at the chevron prompt,
and NetBSD 1.4 starts to come up:

>>> b dua1

  2..1..0..

Note how the system (or at least the console) hangs on the "warning: no
/dev/console" message. 

The file /dev/console does in fact exist, but perhaps it has to be 
configured somehow. 

Any suggestions? I'm almost there.

TIA,
Kevin

PS If I get a chance I will reboot using the miniroot tape, mount the ra1
partitions, get the network setup stuff into rc, and then reboot off of DUA1,
wait for the message, and then after a suitable period try getting into the
box via telnet. I think that the machine is simply hanging after the warning
message, though - can't hear the hard drives/system activity as there are too
many machines running in my machine room right now...
