Hi everybody,
I send this message to netbsd-help, and I receive only one answer but
thanks god the answer help a little bit. Is it ok to ask for help on
port-sun3????
I just get another Sun 3/60, and I already had one with NetBSD-1.1, I
want to test it.
The problem is that when I boot a new Sun, it works only in single user
mode.
The difference between the one that is working and the one that is not
is.
Working one Failing one
memory: 24M 4M
monitor: black & white no monitor but there is plug for
color monitor
console(prom): b&w ttya( using a qume terminal, set
term=tek-4530)
When I goes from one to the other I simply unplug all the cable from one
and I plug it to the other
When I boot on the failing one everything goes smoothly but when it goes
to multi user, I have an error message from getty( may be init ).
Error is: getty is repeating to quickly on ttya sleeping
getty is repeating to quickly on ttyb sleeping
the result is that I never have a login prompt on ttya and I have to
halt it.
Once again it works in single user mode.
Also I need to know where could I find a color monitor and a list of
model that works ( a web site where I could order will be perfect )
Thanks for your help.
Claude Foley.
