Booting ok, but no login prompt

[Heiko Recktenwald]

Hi, played around with /etc/ttys and /etc/termcap, see man ppp on direct
connections, and accidently deleted something.

Now, I cant login anymore, the login prompt does not appear, the machine
seems to freeze shortly before.

Searched the net for a solution but could not find anything. What is
happening, what can I do?

Thanks,

H.
