Hello all,
I am pretty new to netbsd. I just got netbsd 1.5.3 up, and I was trying to
get more than one login screen on console, and my system froze. I hadn't
gotten around to running sshd, so I couldn't login remotely to kill
whatever was making it freeze.
Before the freeze however, I had changed /etc/wscons.conf and added two
more screens (screen 7 and screen 8) thinking that the next time on reboot
I would have more screens to login. The next reboot brought me only one
login prompt, even though in rc.conf I have rc_configured=YES
Did I do something wrong? (I just removed the two lines from wscons.conf
and rebooted again - I am not sure what service to stop and restart
instead of reboot) How can I fix it?
Thanks for your help :)
