Hello, ihave a DECstation 5000/120 that I bought from my University. it =
came installed with netBSD 1.3.1, and just the root account setup with =
no password. I've been playing with it for awhile, nd now that i've =
tried setting it up on my network, (a cablemodem, linux box and a =
windows box) when i try to login as root it asks me for a password, =
which i've never set. does anyone know how i can get past this or =
possibly netboot using the linux box so i can do a network install of =
netBSD to clear this up?
