dear all,
i have some weird problem with pcvt that does not allow my system to
reboot. it goes like this: i shutdown my machine using either reboot or
halt, and after shutting down x-windows, the screen goes back to console,
and then when it is supposed to say "syncing disks...done, etc." it
instead prints out garbage characters and just hangs. it does this
whether i am shutting down from x, and also when i am not using x. i'm
pretty sure it has nothing to do with the aperture driver/insecure kernel
thing, as it happens even when not running x.
i am running netbsd-current-950427. has this been fixed already in the
latest sources? also, have the latest sources for pcvt been integrated
into the tree or are they waiting for it to be a release version first?
thanks for any answers.
sincerely,
