Upgraded my Q840 from 2.1 to 3.1. Unpacked kernel, rebooted, unpacked base, comp, man, text, and xcomp, rebooted. Now I cannot login. I get this after entering a username:

Now a separate problem. I did all those needed steps, but now I can't seem to get a correct boot without a monitor attached. This box used to run fine as a server; I only connected the monitor to diagnose the problem with the upgrade.

I heard the startup chime, the drive spinup for MacOS, a pause about as long as the delay I've got in Booter, and then another round of disk activity as NetBSD boots. But no matter how long I wait, I cannot connect by telnet nor ssh as I could before. The address isn't even pingable. I guess I'll have to go back and read every line of the INSTALL file to see if there's any networking changes.

Certainly been an interesting upgrade so far.
