- If you are running a stock FreeBSD 1.1.5 system you can ignore the
- rest of this section. If not, make sure you have a spare virtual
- console which is running a login process (getty). First check how
- many virtual consoles you have:
-
-
- % dmesg|grep sc
- sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard
- sc0: VGA color <8 virtual consoles>
-
-
-
- Then check /etc/ttys to make sure there is at least one ttyv? devices
- which doesn't have a getty enabled. FreeBSD 1.1.5 has the first three
- ``on'' and the last ``off'' so that getty runs on only three:
-
-
- % grep ttyv /etc/ttys
- ttyv0 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
- ttyv1 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
- ttyv2 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 on secure
- ttyv3 "/usr/libexec/getty Pc" cons25 off secure
-
-
-
- If your kernel has least 4 VTs and only 3 gettys, this is fine. If
- not, either disable a getty in /etc/ttys by changing ``on'' to ``off''
- or build another kernel with more VTs as described below.
