Make sure your terminal emulator is using 8N1(8 bits, No parity, 1 stop bit). If you are using a 7N1 or some-such, you will get a login and a password but then it will hang there--much as you've described. Hope it helps. ------------------------------------------------------------ | Bill Burham | St. Joseph HealthCare System | | 505 244-8968 | Operating Environments Specialist | | billrb@igor.sjhs.org | Info Services / Tech Services | ------------------------------------------------------------ On Thu, 9 Mar 1995, Bill Allison wrote: > I just set up a FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 system, and everything seems to work fine > from the console.
