I have problems going from single user to multiuser mode. I give it the
"control d" to switch over to multiuser.  The machine hangs and displays
the following message:

"setting tty flags"

If I don't try to change into multiuser mode, I can us "login" and can
successfully login in as jorge (which is the account I have set up for
myself,while in single user mode).  After that I seem to have a regular c
shell account.  Is this another way to go into multiuser mode?  Or what I
am doing?


I am booting from system 7.5.1 and with extensions off; my system is in
one bit mode;



My configuration is as follows:

Mac IIci
8 megs of ram
730 mg hardrive (partitioned with HDT 1.7.5 and has 3 partitions; one is
for apple software; 2nd is a 150 meg partition "A/UX Root&Usr" and the 3rd
is  18 meg "A/UX Swap."
