Append 'devfs=nomount' to your kernel command line, or install devfsd (though I recommend the former at this point, as devfs is considered deprecated). The fact that the gettys aren't staying running is because they can't open tty[1-6], because devfs doesn't call them by those names; devfsd adds symlinks that point to vc/*, but I've phased that out on my PowerBook and G3 B&W. -- Derrik Pates [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
