    Good day;
    I am having some difficulty with the installation of version 5.3 on a
    Ultra 60 system.

    It seems like everything goes fine but, the console display goes south.
    Everything else seems to be working ok but, the console isn't. Remote
    access to this box is working fine.

    Here's the last group of lines from dmesg:

    Apr 19 06:02:33 sun syslogd: kernel boot file is /boot/kernel/kernel
    ELF ldconfig path: /lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/compat /usr/X11R6/lib
    /usr/local/lib
    Starting local daemons:
    .
    Updating motd
    .
    Starting sshd.
    Initial sparc64 initialization:

    Starting cron.
    Local package initialization:

    Starting inetd.
    Starting background file system checks in 60 seconds.

    Apr 19 06:02:37 sun getty[423]: open /dev/screen: No such file or directory

    There is no /dev/screen file but, there is a /dev/screen:r1280x1024x60 file

    I tried making a link to this file in hopes it would fix it but, after a
    reboot, my link was gone.

    Can someone point me in the right direction?

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
