- If it worked fine in another machine, as the console device, it will
- need to be configured to BE the second device on your new machine. Make
- sure the hardware responds at 177402. That block of switches should
- read on-on-on-off on the primary board. It should read on-on-off-off
- on the second board. When you go to boot the Ultrix, it should list
- an entry for qd1 at the proper address, if not, the board is either
- not working or configured incorrectly.
-
- Next, ensure it is defined in your config file (you've done that) and
- build a new kernel.
-
- After booting this new kernel, you'll have to edit the
- /etc/ttys file to include a line at the bottom of the file which looks
- something like the line already there:
-
- :0 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession -e" none on
- secure window="/usr/bin/Xqdsg -su"
-
- add
-
- :1 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession -e" none on
- secure window="/usr/bin/Xqdsg -su"
-
- now, doing a kill -HUP 1 should cause init to get that terminal going,
- if not, try rebooting.
