Subject: root login refused on tty ttySf

I have loaded an older version of NetBSD (1.3, yes I know it is old) on one
of my uVAX 3600's and it boots up fine and produces a login prompt.  When I
login in as "root" and hit enter for the first time I get the following:

login: root
root login refused on this terminal
login: LOGIN root REFUSED ON TTY ttySf

What is "ttySf"? I have gone in as single user and checked out /etc/ttys,
but there does not appear to be a "ttySf" that I can find.

Also, I have a laptop connnected to the 3600 as a console, I use it with my
other 3600's and it works just fine (using the same version of NetBSD).
Can anyone tell me what the problem might be and how to fix it?

TIA,

RiCo
