A/UX 1.1: "toolboxdaemon" Problem Solved

I can't seem to get the toolboxdaemon to run correctly in the release version. I have set the command in the inittab file to "once" and
restarted. When I try to run HFX, I get messages saying that the toolboxdaemon seems to be dead and fatal toolbox error. I also tried the
newunix toolbox command and restarted. That didn't help. Next, I put a command in the /etc/startup file to automatically run toolboxdaemon in the background. Everything seems OK until I quit from HFX. Instead of seeing the console screen, I get a series of tiny "windows" across the screen. I can type in commands, but I can't read them. What's wrong?
The first error message appears when a toolbox application is started, and the toolboxdaemon is not running. The entry in the /etc/inittab file is correct when set to once, but the toolboxdaemon won't be started, unless the system is brought into multi-user mode with the command:

init 2

The reason for the tiny windows is that the system is running in color mode under the toolbox application and is trying to talk to a monochrome display (the A/UX console) when the error occurs. Try running the system in monochrome mode so that you can read the error message being sent to the screen.
