Did you boot the right kernel? The reason I'm asking is that this 
happens to me when I boot the "normal" NetBSD kernel, instead of the 
special WSCONS one.

If this is the case, go to http://www.interlude.eu.org/~ad/wscons/ and 
download netbsd-20020922.gz. Unzip it and then copy netbsd-20020922 to 
/wscons.

Now halt your machine and boot the wscons kernel. (For a Decstation 5000 
/ 240 you would need to type boot 3/rzX/wscons -aN at the >> prompt. I 
don't know what the syntax for the 5000 / 133 is).

Be excellent,
Louis
