Date: 22 Nov 1993 13:45:50 GMT Organization: Case Western Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio (USA) Lines: 16 Message-ID: <2cqfqe$idr@usenet.INS.CWRU.Edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: nextsun.ins.cwru.edu I have had NetBSD on my computer for a month now and I can't fig- ure out how to get login to behave properly. When I reboot or start my computer, the computer goes through the typical bootup routine, displays "Login:" and times out after 300s leaving me with "#" for a prompt, this isn't correct. Since I have discoveredthe problem, I found and compiled another login routine. It times out sooner===>it is not the login routine. OK, what is the problem, 'cause I'm missing it. If it is of any help my hardware configuration is: AMD 33/386DX CTX SVGA/VGA monitor Trident TVGA VGA board Western Digital 81MB IDE drive --
