Are you using 'udev' ? >I pressume that I need to examine the setup file for bootlogd bootlogd doesn't have a config file. >and tell >it to stop trying to listen to /dev/ttyzf, but don't know how to do >this.

Wouldn't make sense; bootlogd *needs* the pseudo terminal or it won't work at all. > I would be grateful for a hint or an enlightening flame :) Bootlogd is disabled by default because on many systems, it simply doesn't appear to work :/ You added yet more proof of that.
