>Description:
	
I connected the serial port from my laptop running NetBSD-current build
from 14.08.1999 sources to the serial port of an "headless" Sun Ultra 10
to act as console. Via the command `tip hardwire` I got the console
from the machine as expected. Some time later I had to reboot the
Sun Ultra 10, but when it came to "resetting" in the boot prom, suddenly
the laptop running NetBSD froze and did a reset too :-(

>How-To-Repeat:
	
Try to run as console for a Sun Ultra 10 with a Toshiba Tecra 500CDT
running NetBSD-current and reboot the Sun Ultra 10.

>Fix:
	
I have no idea, sorry.
>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
