Greeting- It sounds like you do not have a getty running on the port you are connecting to for the console. I found out the hard way that it may not be known as /dev/console. Try to boot single user. If that works then do a tty to get the name of the port and edit /etc/ttys to start a getty on that port when the system goes multiuser. -Brett -- wynkoop@wynn.com http://prd4.wynn.com/wynkoop/pgp-keys.txt 917-642-6925 718-717-5435 "The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government" - Thomas Jefferson.
