Very Computer

I've just installed NetBSD/pmax on a Personal DECstation 5000/25. Works
fine except two things :

Boots only into single-user mode even though I've changed /etc/rc.config
so it should go directly to multiuser.

I can't get X to start on the 2nd graphics adapter. This is probably
more a hardware question, since I guess it's something I should change
from the boot-prompt.
Problem is that the default graphics card is dead, so I have a second
(PMAGB-B) sitting in TurboChannel slot 0. It works fine, but I can't
figure out how to make X start on it (it keeps starting on the first
adapter (the one that doesn't work)).

I think I should also be able to change the console so I get everything
ut on the graphics card instead of the serial port.

Can anyone help on this one ?

boot 3/rz0/netbsd -a

or whatever your equivalent is. The "-a" option makes it automatically
boot into multiuser mode.

Regarding my graphics monitor problem I seem to have found the problem
after finding the service manual on the Linux/DecMIPS homepage.

If no keyboard & mouse is connected to the SERIAL.BUS (the connector
that looks like a oversized RJ-45) it'll default to the normal serial
port, and since I don't have the special LK501 keyboard & mouse, that's
whats happening.

I've tried to force it to use the keyboard at the serial port as input
device and the graphics monitor as output device, but it doesn't care
about my settings. Too bad.

Seems like I'll have to get the LK501 keyboard to be able to use the
graphics card & monitor.
