wrong, i think, that should read `sxt'

i'm not using shell layers on our SysV tahoe, but i think
you need to configure the sxt pseudo-device into the kernel.
on our system, the file to edit is /usr/src/uts/machine/cf/CF
(the configuration file). if you're running a newer SysV
than ours, you may well have the sysadm utility which will
have a "reconfigure kernel" option in a menu.
my System Admin Manual says
"several drivers and software subsystems are treated like device
drivers without any associated hardware. To include any of these
pieces, a pseudo-device specification is used, as shown below:
pseudo device-name [ howmany ]
Examples of pseudo-devices are sxt, the job-control driver; pty,
the pseudo-terminal driver (where the optional howmany indicates
the number of pseudo-terminals to configure--32 is the default);
and inet... Other pseudo-devices for the network include loop, ...;
imp ...; and ether ..."
here's the tail-end of our CF file as an example
device ace0 at vba? csr 0xff0000 vector acecint acerint
device ace1 at vba? csr 0xff0100 vector acecint acerint
pseudo-device pty 32
pseudo-device sxt 8
pseudo-device loop 1
