We had a problem with using DH/DM boards with our VAX 750 with 4.1BSD
("login" would hang after the user id had been typed in.)
This problems appear to be solved, since we got a new, 'FIXED',
DH/DM board from ABLE.
We now have another problem.
PROBLEM:
While booting up the system will auto-configure, but will
not enter the 'automatic reboot' sequence, until a character
is typed on the console.
Once the character is typed the message
"automatic reboot in progress"
is printed out and the system proceeds to boot.
MORE INFORMATION:
Configuration: VAX 750, UDA 50, RA 81, TU 80, DMF-32, DH/DM
We did not have this problem when we had only the DMF-32 in the system.
QUESTIONS:
Is this a problem with the DH/DM driver.
DH/DM board
something else in the kernal.
We would appreciate hearing from any body who can shed light on the
subject.
Thanks in advance.

From: Jim Bloom <bloom%ucbshadow@ucb-vax.ARPA> The auto-reboot bug is either in init or in the kernel. This problem has nothing to do with the DH/DM board since the console is not connected to it. What happens is that the console sends a cntl-S to the system during the auto-configuration output. For some reason the systems loses the cntl-Q somewhere. I fixed the problem quickly (but not correctly) by slowing the console to 1200 baud from 2400 baud. I suspect that flushing the input buffer for the console at the beginning of init would fix the problem. Jim Bloom ucbvax!bloom bloom@ucbvax.ARPA
