Good day;
I am having some difficulty with the installation of version 5.3 on a 
Ultra 60 system.

It seems like everything goes fine but, the console display goes south.  
Everything else seems to be working ok but, the console isn't.  Remote 
access to this box is working fine.

Here's the last group of lines from dmesg:

Apr 19 06:02:33 sun syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib

Tue Apr 19 06:02:37 EDT 2005
Apr 19 06:02:37 sun getty[423]: open /dev/screen: No such file or directory


There is no /dev/screen file but, there is a /dev/screen:r1280x1024x60 file

I tried making a link to this file in hopes it would fix it but, after a 
reboot, my link was gone.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
