Look in /etc/ttys, and change or fix the entry for /dev/cuaa2. > p.s.

This is probably a child of init forked to exec mgetty on /dev/cuaa2, but failing, so the process name stays as "init". After you fix /etc/ttys, you shouldn't see this extra init. -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
