"headless" sun crash

[Dean Grover ird]

We currently have a Sun 4/260 running 4.0 and are currently running it
without a bitmap console.  I have directed the console output to port ttya
using the EEPROM, and have changed the ttytab? file to reflect the fact
that the terminal is a vt100.  The problem is this: If I am logged in to
that machine and direct output to /dev/ttya instead of /dev/console, the
machine crashes.  Is this a bug ?  Or have I forgotten something.  This is
not a major problem for us, once I direct output to /dev/console,
everything works just fine.


Thanks in advance.
