Date: Tue, 20 Dec 94 03:50:31 GMT Organization: Carnegie Mellon Computer Club Lines: 11 Message-ID: <3d5nqq$2bs@nntp.club.cc.cmu.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: data.club.cc.cmu.edu I can't get my WYSE terminal to log into my FreeBSD 1.1.5 machine and get the system login script. I popped in the I/O card and it saw sio0 with irq 4 on isa, type 16450, when I start the system. So far so good. Looks like it sees COM 1. I tried doing what the man pages *try* to tell you, which *I think* is to edit /etc/ttys and set the tty01 to "vt100 on secure". This is probably wrong since it didn't help and on startup I get cannot find /dev/tty01 or something. I looked at a few FAQs and have been over the man pages for getty, gettytab, init, etc, but essentially I need someone to point me in the right direction. I know I'm in the right area, but man cannot live on man pages alone. Thanks!
