Hi All,
After upgrading (make buildworld ...) I do not receive the logon prompt
anymore. I get the following message repeated on the screen numerous
times.
"init: can't get /dev/console for controlling terminal: operation not
permitted"
Then every 10 minutes I get
"last message repeated 20 times"
The ssh login method is still operational so I am not totally locked out
of the system.
