Thanks to EVERYONE who replied! GEE I got 12 or so replies! thanks!
The first thing I did was to boot into single user mode, and change
/etc/ttys back, but that didn't do the job, don't know why.
I am pretty sure I had it exactly the way it was, because when I made
the modification, I commented the line out, copy amd paste the same
line w/o "#", then I made mods on that new line. When I went change it
back, I simply removed that new line, and comment out the original one.
Should do the job, right?
Anyway, the problem was solved by doing these:
# cp /private/etc/ttys /private/etc/ttys.bork
# cp /usr/template/etc/ttys /private/etc/ttys
then reboot
of couse, that's when in single-user mode.
Although I still don't see what's the difference, the problem's solved.
I only tried this one, and it worked for me so didn't go try others
suggestion. This one was from Pascal, Thanks Pascal!
