layers on 3b2/310

[Alberto M. Segre]

I'm having trouble running layers on a 3b2 310 with version 3.1 of the OS.
I have a 5620 connected as /dev/console.

It runs the stand-alone demos fine, but won't start layers. When I type:

	% layers -f file -s 2>stats

the screen blanks and then hangs. Fortunately, break seems to get me back to
unix, where the stats file contains the error message:

        /usr/dmd/bin/layers - error - not connected to a tty device /dev/console: Not a typewriter


Any hints? I have a feeling it's a silly error of some sort...
