char-major-4 module

[Kevin Coyner <kevin@rustybear.com>]

I'm running a Sparcstation 20 using stable 2.2.20 and have the following
in my syslog:

Dec 7 08:32 sparc20 modprobe: modprobe: Can't locate module char-major-4
Dec 7 08:32 sparc20 last message repeated 20 times
Dec 7 08:33 sparc20 last message repeated 36 times
Dec 7 08:33 sparc20 last message repeated 3 times
Dec 7 08:34 sparc20 init: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min
Dec 7 08:34 sparc20 init: Id "2" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min
Dec 7 08:34 sparc20 init: Id "3" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min
Dec 7 08:34 sparc20 init: Id "4" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min
Dec 7 08:34 sparc20 init: Id "5" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min
Dec 7 08:34 sparc20 init: Id "6" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 min

When I built up the system, I had a monitor and keyboard attached.  Now,
since I'm using it as a server only, it's running without
monitor/keyboard.  The above msgs are clearly associated with whether
the keyboard is attached or not, as I can re-attach it and the msgs
disappear.

If I want to keep the keyboard unattached, what are the best edits to
make to stop these messages?

In a google search I found a suggestion to add

"alias char-major-4 off"

to my /etc/modutils/aliases file.  Does this make the most sense?

Thanks
Kevin
