Gang,
Thanks for listening to my woes as i work my way through my
first install here.
I have the machine up and I can boot to a login prompt and even
login okay (this is 1.2G on a uVAX II)... but I have two problems that
are related, I think.
1) I have no 'tty' devices in /dev. When I run MAKEDEV it
runs for a bit, then just hangs. I mentioned this before with no
response..
2) I can't login as root from the console (I can login as
a non-prived user). I get a message about root logins not accepted
from the console. I don't understand this since my understanding was
that if the 'console' line in /etc/ttys said 'secure' that I should be
able to login okay. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance. Thanks also to Dave McGuire who reminded me
to SYNC when copying the kernel!
