I just got in an SS10 from the scrap heap, with a GX framebuffer.
I tried installing NetBSD-1.5 and it died horribly with faults.
NetBSD-1.4.3 installed and is running fine. Alas, the console seems
a bit messed up. It has 23 lines and then loses some off the top
of the screen as if it is paging 36 lines or so. /etc/ttys
has ``suncons sun on'' as its default. Offhand, can anyone point
me to where the problem is with the virtual terminal page size (36?
lines) vs the actual on-screen page size (23 lines).
Thanks
Bob
