I get a similar - although less critical - response on an IPX running 2.2.13 and frozen. The same happened also with the standard slink install. After a fresh reboot and "before" logging into X (i.e., at the xdm prompt) I can switch to console mode by CTRL+ALT+Fx without any problem. When I am logged into an X session, it is impossible to switch. To do that I must log out from the X session and restart X with CTRL+ALT+BACKSPACE. I feel that things have improved a little bit with respect to slink, because then, when I was at the console, the system itself randomly switched to the xdm prompt (however, CRTL+ALT+Fx allowed to restore the console mode). I have seen similar messages in the debian-sparc mailing list archive, but I have never read any response on how to fix this starge behavior.
