I thought that too, but aboot.conf doesn't have any console

the serial port, though, and it seems I was right that the console is
switching to the serial port when init mode 2 completes. The monitor
screen simply stops updating at that point and is frozen. It doesn't
blank or anything. The keyboard goes dead. The laptop then receives the
login message and prompt. If I log in from the laptop and shut the
system down, console messages then go to the laptop until the halt, when
control is transferred to SRM and the SRM messages appear again on the
monitor attached to the system. It's very strange to me.
In which case you should look at /etc/inittab and add (or uncomment) some
lines like the following:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty1
2:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty2
3:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty3
4:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty4
5:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty5
6:23:respawn:/sbin/getty 38400 tty6
You can leave the gettys for the serial lines (which have -L ttyS0 or
similar) uncommented as well.
