You also need to turn off the getty instance trying to run on ttyE* in /etc/ttys. In the second last column edit the "on" to "off" for ttyE0 .. ttyE3. When you install NetBSD the installer will turn on wscons and the four first getty lines for virtual glass consoles when the installer itselfs runs on a framebuffer console. If you install via serial console, it will default to leaving them off. You can find out where the NetBSD kernel things your console is (usually) by running something like: fgrep console /var/run/dmesg.boot Martin
