hi!

	I just bought the new INfomagic CDs with the 2.0 kernel. I got the
installation done fine. BUt ran into problems setting up XF86. I ran through
the configuration steps smoothly, except for one glitch. When I did a 
SuperProbe at the start, It said that it couldnt find /dev/console . I
already knew all the info about my monitor and video card and so just
ignored this and went on to xf86config. I went through all the steps and
when I do startx, it wont start because it cant find /dev/console. The 
error messages are listed below.

	For completeness sake, I have a NEC MultiSync 3V monitor and a 
Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM card with 1 MB video memory.

************************* Error Messages ********************************
