I posted this group some days ago explaining difficulties installing FreeBSD on my (small) system: 4meg 386dx40. What was holding me up was not a serious matter and I have managed to get the OS installed so that it boots from hard disk. ... Well almost. It starts booting from hard disk and seems to be making substantial headway, but then gets caught in an endless cycle of 'sleeps'. I will recount the last few lines displayed during the boot: configuring syscons:. . Local package startup:. Wed Nov 6 22:08:20 1996 Nov 6 22:08:20 myname init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv2, sleeping 30 secs Nov 6 22:08:20 myname init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv1, sleeping 30 secs Nov 6 22:08:21 myname init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv0, sleeping 30 secs Nov 6 22:08:21 myname init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/ttyv2, sleeping 30 secs and so on. Can anyone shed any light. I realise I haven't provided much information, but I wouldn't know quite what to provide. Perhaps takers can let me know what details I need to give. Thanks in advance for any help. Regards, Cal.
