- I have a slight problem in that I crashed my Linux due to my folly. I
- tried to set my modem up for dial in, but accidentally set the baud rate too
- high for getty so it would only log me in until it next tried to run getty
- i.e. only 30 or so secs and then it logged me back to he login. I tried
- killing it to no avail. So I renamed it and rebooted (oops). I was then
- unable to get in at all. So I downloaded the root/boot pair from tsx-11
- and rawrited them and tried mounting but that gave a seg fault and dumped core.
- Does anyone know why mount crashed?
- Thanks, Ben Bennett.
