That is one of the problems w/ our current NuBus support. :-(

Hmm. You're using something later than -current, aren't you? It's
supposed to not crash the computer when you have ttye0 "on" in
/etc/ttys and don't have a screen. That bug was squished a while ago (I
thought).

What might cause a problem, though, is if you ONLY had ttye0 on in
/etc/ttys.  leaving the poor little computer w/o ANY ports for running
getty. :-)

To fix the problem, boot single user off the console, and then manually mount
root. mount /dev/sdXa / will work. Then just edit it under NetBSD. :-)

Cool! Sounds like a happy house. :-)

Take care,
