Ok, I got dt and installed it, and now when I run it it just blanks out
the screen. I know I can do stuff because I typed 'reboot' and my machine
rebooted. I just can't see anything, so I don't know if it's changing to
other consoles when I type cmd-#. I tried the pre compiled binary that
was packaged with the source, then compiled my own and it still didn't
show anything. Any ideas?
I have some feeling there is a really simple answer to this that I
overlooked. But I haven't used NetBSD for about 6 or 7 months so I dont
remember exactly how to use dt. I ran it like 'dt -n 2'.
