- If there were a FAQ for this group, this would be on it.
-
- First, check and make sure you have turned off "dosynctodr". You can
- do that with "tickadj -s" in /etc/rc.local, or you can fix it in /vmunix
- with adb.
-
- Second, if that doesn't fix it, request your Sun field support to
- install the latest level of boot proms (at least level 2.4) This fixes
- a problem with clock interrupts getting lost when large volumes of text
- are sent to the raw (non window-managed) console screen. (It doesn't
- really fix the problem, but it reduces it to a manageable level.)
-
- Enjoy!
