Hi,
I am currently working on 5 DECstation 5000/125 w/32mb & RZ56 drives,
with PMAG-BA turbochannel graphics. At
the moment I have two functioning, one of which is still running Ultrix
and the other which is now running NetBSD.
I was able to netboot the BSD box quite successfully from the Ultrix box
(i can elaborate in case anyone is interested). I have installed the
latest snapshots of NetBSD but I have a couple of questions
(surprise,surprise)
1. With X, I am constantly getting "unable to configure keyboard/mouse",
what is causing this? I changed the minor numbers of tty00 and tty01 (as
per something in the archive) but still to no avail. I also noticed that
/dev/mouse has to be linked to /dev/fb0, this is not mentioned in the
MAKEDEV script however :)
2. My own account on the machine is in group 0 (wheel) and still I get
"You are not in the correct group to su root" what have i done wrong?
Thanx
Karl

won't buy your product, and will recommend others to do the same.
