 Just over-write it and send a HUP-signal to the sendmail process, restarting 
it.  (ps -aux | grep -i sendmail; kill -HUP PID)

 Just comment-out the tty's you don't need in /etc/ttys (more: "man ttys")
It must open all the possible (and compiled) modes, because it is possible
to run NetBSD/Amiga with several graphic boards at the same time.

 What do you mean with "console"? You are any user in multi-user mode,
and your "console" is a terminal device. You cannot be a "console".

 You obviously have a console driver problem.

 Then again using UNIX without reading manuals is like using Windows.

 I fail to understand the reason for this useless signature, but 
anyway: Please temporarily remove the Picasso IV and test NetBSD again.
(And use the -A option for loadbsd) If this doesnt help, you might have
a Blizzard 1260 issue.
