Greetings *,
First of all, thanks to William Jolitz and all the contributors to the
success of 386bsd.
With the newly arrived 200MB IDE HD, I have successfully installed
386bsd into my HD, though my old WD 40MB IDE still have trouble
to boot up correctly. After playing with it for 2 nights, I need
help to solve the following problems:
1. How to create pseudo ttys'? What are their major and minor numbers
? And how many will be sufficient to run X window?
2. I couldn't make "screen" run? Is this related to (1)? When I ran
screen, it came up a kinda new screen and hang.
3. I can use kermit when I'm a su, but not when I'm a regular user.
In other words, it was installed incorrectly. Something need to
set. The error message I got is:
Error opening /dev/tty
congm: permission denied
/var/spool/lock: permission denied
BTW, there is only one tty in my /dev dir. How to create more?
(the major, minor numbers and how many are suff? )
4. Is it possible to have vt100 emulation when I login? If I remembered
coorectly, I didn't see any vt100 entry in /etc/termcap.
I'll halt here. I have more to come. Thanks in advance! You can
either post here or email me at jlu@cs.umr.edu. Since I didn't
see any of these problems in FAQ (may be too trivial), it may be
helpful to post your suggestions here. If there are sufficient
interests, I'll post a summary.
