I had a problem with my old HD in my sparcbook and it no longer boots.
I figured this was as good a time as any to install NetBSD on it, so
I went and grabbed the latest stuff Michael posted to his area on
ftp.netbsd.org and got it to install.

Here's where things get a little goofy, I can boot it up fine, log in
once, but when I log out and back in, I get:

"getty respawning too quickly on /dev/console, sleeping"

It sleeps for a bit, then it gives me another login prompt.  It will do
this a couple of times, then it starts just giving me login prompts,
never prompting for password.

Below is the uname -a and dmesg output.

Ideas?

(btw, this does feel much faster than Solaris 2.6 did)
