Good morning Netpeople,
I've installed XFree86-2.0 on my NetBSD and put these lines in
my /etc/rc.local:
if [ -x /usr/X386/bin/xdm ]; then
echo -n 'xdm'; /usr/X386/bin/xdm
fi
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" confs25 off secure
and rebooted, and of course "xdm" does not work yet with my setup,
the trouble is there was no console, so I'm left without unix. I've
tried to boot from the kernel disk but it tried to re-install, I've
tried fixit disk of BSD but it was not bootable.
Anyone has an idea of how to edit this /etc/rc.local file in this
situation and a mean to do it please post or/and email me please.
Many thanks,
kb
