Hi,
I tried that already, and also a :np: gettytab entry.
Neither seemeed to make any difference.
I also discovered that the mapping from tty numbers for SCC
DECstations (all but 3100 and 5k/200) aren't mapped to bulkhead
connectors in any sensible way. I beleive I created mine with
(cd /dev; /bin/sh MAKEDEV scc0)
but tty0 ends up being the bulkhead connector labelled "3", and I
assume tty1 is the bulkhead connector labelled "2", which *I* think is
a bug.
FWIW, I did notice different behaviour on the same tty when on a
5k/200, with _identical_ /etc/gettytab and /etc/ttys. The 5k/200
prints about 8 characters worth of junk -- they show up as "k" or "k"
-- after printing "NetBSD" but then everything else looks fine.
The 5k/200 has a much older init and getty (they're still a.out).
I should try updating those and seeing if it breaks in the same way.
