Our users would like to be able to run with the system console eeprom'd to
/dev/ttya and still be able to login to the nice color workstation and do
windows.

The folks at the other end of the hotline gave us a work-around, but it's
a bit clumsy, requiring that suntools be executed from a console login.

FM pointers and RTFA (archives) welcome, of course.

We're running SunOS 3.5 and 3.5.1 on 3/260s with 8 MB.
