If it worked fine in another machine, as the console device, it will
need to be configured to BE the second device on your new machine. Make
sure the hardware responds at 177402.  That block of switches should
read on-on-on-off on the primary board.  It should read on-on-off-off
on the second board.  When you go to boot the Ultrix, it should list
an entry for qd1 at the proper address, if not, the board is either
not working or configured incorrectly.

Next, ensure it is defined in your config file (you've done that) and
build a new kernel.

After booting this new kernel, you'll have to edit the
/etc/ttys file to include a line at the bottom of the file which looks
something like the line already there:

:0 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession -e" none on
secure window="/usr/bin/Xqdsg -su"

	add

:1 "/usr/bin/login -P /usr/bin/Xprompter -C /usr/bin/dxsession -e" none on
secure window="/usr/bin/Xqdsg -su"

now, doing a kill -HUP 1 should cause init to get that terminal going,
if not, try rebooting.
