NetBSD se-zulu.psycho.unibas.ch 5.1 NetBSD 5.1 (GENERIC) #0: Sat Nov 6 18:44:40 UTC 2010 builds@b6.netbsd.org:/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-1-RELEASE/sparc/201011061943Z-obj/home/builds/ab/netbsd-5-1-RELEASE/src/sys/arch/sparc/compile/GENERIC sparc
>Description:
Starting top on the console frame buffer locks up the console (both on a CG3 and a CG6); I'm using the generic kernel with option RASTERCONSOLE (screen-#columns = 80, screen-#rows = 34, i. e. the default value; TERM=sun). Killing top (from a serial terminal) doesn't free the console (but Stop-A to the debugger still works).
With a custom kernel without option RASTERCONSOLE top works slowly but flawlessly (at least at screensize 80x34).
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot the generic kernel on a SparcStation 2, log in and start top.
