Any ideas ? I had a similar problem on my FreeBSD-1.1-RELEASE system after i had switched from FreeBSD-1.1-current(dated 14 April 1994) to RELEASE. I had a good runnig system when I decided to change my seriel card. I had configured my it wrong, so the kernel could not find the seriel devices. Therefore getty tried to access an nonexistent line and this crashed the system. A problem which had been solved in -current. I removed the entries in /etc/ttys and the kernel booted just fine. With the correct configured i/o-card I reenabled getty and everything works again. There still exists another problem with uucp. As a temporary solution I had to change chat "" ATZ\r\d\c OK ATDT\T CONNECT to chat "" ATZ\r\d\c OK ATDP\T CONNECT "" ogin:-BREAK-ogin:-BREAK:ogin: in /etc/uucp/dial to get a working transision from the dial-chat to the login-chat as defined in /etc/uucp/sys.
