I just started using FreeBSD a couple of days ago, but I have been an avid Linux user for a few years now. I am not talking about Red Hat either, I mean I use Slackware, which is closer to BSD (init, etc...) than any other Linux Distribution. Except for my one problem, I think FreeBSD is great! Anyway, here's the problem. Everything went ok during the install, and when I booted the kernel everything was detected fine. Then, came the login prompt and as soon as that comes up, the screen would just fill with all these error messages....well the same one repeating. Then every 30 seconds or so it repeats... The error message follows this format: [DATE] [TIME] [HOSTNAME] getty [PID#]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device Then init would say somethings about too many requests (something like that??) by getty to the console, and that it would sleep 30 seconds. It sleeps, then repeats in an infinite cycle. It is very annoying, and any help would be appreciated. It is a fresh install of FreeBSD 4.3 that is NOT connected to the net. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!
