Hi, Using FreeBSD 3.2. When the machine starts up it gives this error during rc.i386 rc.i386 configuring syscons: blank_time/etc/rc.i386: cannot open /dev/ttyv0: no such device or address even though ttyv0 is there. ls -l /dev/ttyv* crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 0 Aug 9 15:27 /dev/ttyv0 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 1 Aug 9 15:27 /dev/ttyv1 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 2 Aug 9 15:27 /dev/ttyv2 crw------- 1 root wheel 12, 3 Aug 9 15:27 /dev/ttyv3 The only interesting thing I could find was that even when I ./MAKEDEV vty4 I still could access the device. cat > /dev/ttyv0 /dev/ttyv0: Device not configured. If I manually try vidcontrol </dev/ttyv0 -t 600 I get the same error, but one different from the output of rc.i386. I'm using a serial console and pulled the video card. Does the ttyv0 device depend on the existence of a video card? It doesn't seem like I need anything in rc.i386, but I'd like to keep it in case I ever put a vido card back in. At the same, that error is bothering me. TIA john. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
