in particular, how do I create /dev/console, as that seems to be the root cause...
You shouldn't need to create /dev/console, if it can't be opened in /dev, then term tries to create a new node for the console in /tmp. I don't know what the problem is, but maybe you're making the file-system read-only when booting? Could you show us your GRUB's menu.lst entry that you use to boot GNU/Hurd? (Oh yeah, and please refrain from sending HTML messages, they are annoying, redundant, and stupid. And you might ditch that disclmair if you can to) Cheers. _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
