I have had NetBSD running for a couple of weeks now, and I can't
seem to get login to act properly. When I re boot or start my
computer the system goes through the startup routine prints
"Login:" in the upper left corner of my screen, waits 300s, times
out, and gives me "#". I have since tried a different login proce-
dure and it times out sooner==> there is no problem with login.
Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to rectify it?
  If it is of any help my hardware setup is:
AMD33/386DX
CTX VGA/SVGA monitor
Trident TVGA VGA Board
Western Digital 81MB IDE HD
