System: NetBSD trillian 1.4.1 NetBSD 1.4.1 (TRILLIAN) #4: Mon Sep 20 23:03:46 BST 1999 root@trillian:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/TRILLIAN i386


>Description:
	The default /etc/wscons.conf file shipped with NetBSD/i386 1.4.1
includes a line to configure screen 0, however this results in the error
message

	wsconscfg: WSDISPLAYIO_ADDSCREEN: Device busy

being displayed at boot time when /etc/rc.wscons runs, as screen 0 is
automatically configured by the kernel (in the GENERIC config, at
least).

>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot NetBSD/i386 1.4.1 with the GENERIC kernel, "wscons=YES" in
/etc/rc.conf and the standard /etc/wscons.conf file, and observe above
error message.

>Fix:
	Remove the "screen 0" line from /etc/wscons.conf.
