Hi folks, I had my system running for a couple days and just rebooted it after recompiling the kernel to recognize my tape drive. Upon restart everything seems to get init'd correctly (even new tape drive) but as its just about to get me at a prompt, I see: cp: /var/run/_motd no such file or directory init: can't exec 'getty' /usr/libexec/getty' for port /dev/ttyv0: No such file or directory . . . thru ttyv7 Every 30 seconds, these will repeat again, into infinity it seems. If i go back to kernel.old or kernel.GENERIC then I keep getting the same errors. I could find no helpful information to this problem in the handbook or in mailing list archives. I just rebooted my system last night and got in with no problems. I find this particularly troubling because it fails with kernel.old and kernel.GENERIC. I appreciate the helpful responses I got to my tape drive queries - thanks again for the help. thanks!! -terry ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
