Hi Andy!

Congratulations on installing Venix 1.1!

The root password is 'gnomes', and the games password is 'dale'.  I think
'dale' is also the password to one other account.  The password to the
uucp account is probably 'uucp'.  Anyway, you can change them once you
get in as root.

To login via the COM port, edit /etc/ttys and change the 01com1 to
11com1 for 9600 baud null modem.  (Other speeds require other codes
in the second byte.)  The first byte turns on the getty listener on
that port.  Then do: kill -2 1 to get the init to reread the /etc/ttys
(or just reboot).  You will then be able to login via the com port
via a null modem at 9600 baud.

Venix does an fsck upon boot.  This may be why your HD head is seeking?

Enjoy!

Barry
