Recently I have been playing with NetBSD and I noticed that as I
have it set up, the OS boots, gives me the "Login:" prompt and then
times out after 300s. It continues this behavior no matter how I
modify my rc and ttys and other files. I have been consulting all
manner of UNIX material including SUN man pages. Can SOMEONE tell
me whats going on here? This just isn't supposed to be. If it helps
my system has a 33/386DX no mathco, a CTX VGA/SVGA monitor, a 
Trident TVGA card, and a 80MB Western Digital IDE drive.
