It's a Pentium running FreeBSD -2.2.5-PREREL. It was running fine for last so many months. The problem has started some few days before only. While booting up it doesn't give login prompt on local console. It completes all other processes of normal boot up. It starts various daemons, detects ethernet card properly, all other things are ok. But it comes to the message showing the date, day,time it gets stuck and doesn't move further to give login prompt. Interesting things is since it detects the network to which it is connected properly I could connect it from other machine on network where I get login , proper shell and I can work futher. The only thing is it doesn't give login prompt on local console. I will be happy and obliged to get the solution on this. Thanking in anticipation.
