Well, I've done about as much as I can tonight staring at
this thing. I tried to trace where it is getting stuck
but I'm getting a bit tangled up in /etc/rc -- confusing.
It seems to be executing out of order somehow based on the
output I see...
I was able to get sendmail to run (just put it into
rc.conf) but I can't seem to see what is hanging here.
It never executes the rc.powerpc file. It doesn't seem
to be trying to run rc.syscons but I'm not sure.
Any suggestions? It is frustrating to be so tantalizingly
close!
Sean

Hmmm, I'm not sure what's happening here: you may need to put some debug
in the
shell scripts to see where/why it's hanging.
Here's what my iBook spits out just after these lines:
Updating motd.
sendmail: execing /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail: No such file or
directory
sendmail: execing /usr/libexec/sendmail/sendmail: No such file or

You need the sparc 64 ttys file - the name of the console was
changed recently from 'ofwcons' to 'screen'.
later,
Peter.
