Good day;
I am having some difficulty with the installation of version 5.3 on a Ultra 60 system.
It seems like everything goes fine but, the console display goes south. Everything else seems to be working ok but, the console isn't. Remote access to this box is working fine.
Here's the last group of lines from dmesg:
Apr 19 06:02:33 sun syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel

Tue Apr 19 06:02:37 EDT 2005 Apr 19 06:02:37 sun getty[423]: open /dev/screen: No such file or directory
There is no /dev/screen file but, there is a /dev/screen:r1280x1024x60 file
I tried making a link to this file in hopes it would fix it but, after a reboot, my link was gone.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
What your going to be looking into is devd/devfs somewhere in "/etc/*" in order to make sure the correct file is loaded youll have to change some configurations with that daemon so it creates the device you need upon bootup. Now if I had a 5.4 system running I would beable to look into it further and supply you with more information. But thats a good start at least somewhere so your not left hanging.
Good luck.
