Whatever it is, I've done it right this time. When I try to boot A/UX, it displays the INIT SINGLE USER method and then goes haywire. The cursor moves to the middle of the screen; the "Welcome to A/UX" message is spaced funny; the TERM=(mac2) appears and I press ENTER but A/UX doesn't recognize it. Then it prints the # and hangs - it accepts no futher input. The only way out is the programmer's switch. Heaven help me - what have I done??? Any ideas to get me back up and running would be gratefully accepted. I'm desperate!!!!!!

You've managed to get the console's stty settings wrong and then you've got them saved in /etc/ioctl.syscon. There are a number of things you can do: 1) enter 'stty sane' followed by a linefeed (what there's no line feed on your keyboard! try ^J :-) this should usually get you back to a sane state (you should enter ^J to the TERM=... prompt also) 2) from sash remove /etc/ioctl.syscon (ie 'rm /etc/ioctl.syscon') init will reboot it and set it to a sane state when the system reboots Paul -- Paul Campbell Taniwha Systems Design UUCP: ..!mtxinu!taniwha!paul Oakland CA AppleLink: D3213 Achtung!
