Date: 22 Nov 1993 13:36:38 GMT Organization: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio (USA) Lines: 15 Message-ID: <2cqf96$h6n@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: nextsun.ins.cwru.edu 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 --
