I am a newbie using Netbsd 1.3.1 and I want to run 'pppd' by booting
from
floppy.
I have made a boot floppy with 'pppd' and 'chat'. I also created a
'options' file under '/etc/ppp' in the floppy.I have the modem
connected
to tty01.
While booting through the floppy it goes directly to shell prompt -
it
does not show the login prompt.
When I boot using floppy and start pppd it return to prompt
without any message. 'pppd' is working fine when I boot through the
hard disk.
My questions are
1.How can I get the login prompt while booting from floppy.
2.How can I make 'pppd' work from floppy
3.Does com1 requires any configuration before starting 'pppd'
