I had this problem. I seem to remember some hard coding of 9600 baud. I
can't remember if it was in the getty
program or the getpassword. Anyway, the login program must be correct
for your file setup. I tried a version
of login from the original mintos compilation and had the same bus
error, but I was using the KGMD setup.
The login also appears to have some paths hard coded.
This is as best as I can remember. It was almost two years ago.
