Serial cables can be a PAIN -
Alright guysthe serial cable was indeed bad. I finally got the ok prompt.
Only one problem. I can't type anything at the ok prompt. I can
terminate cu and get back in, but when I'm in, I can't type anything.
If I let it come up to a SunOS login, I can type stuff. This is really
weird. I used

type cu -l /dev/tty00 -s 9600 and it says Connected. So I turn on
the Blade and nothing comes up on the console. I know that Sun
workstations work really well with serial port. I plugged the cable
into serial port A...
I'm not sure about the Blades but the T1000's

you want to send a BREAK over the serial line. from cu, you do
this by typing ~# at the start of a line (i.e. press enter first).
If you're connecting over SSH, you need to escape the first tilde

So assuming the cable is the right cable, in short, what would I have
to do to install OpenBSD on a sparc64 from a i386 console?
If your devaliases are set up correctly type:
boot cdrom with an install cd in.

You can create a null modem cable
I'm probably going to return this cable. Actually I could just ask the
IT guys at our uni about the serial cable, since these two beauties
were lying in their salvage bin.

Hi guys,
So, I'm having some trouble getting OpenBSD installed on two
UltraSPARCs that are perfectly functional it seems. I tried the
monitor + keyboard, but found that to be a hassle as Sun requires you
use their keyboard and monitor which I don't have. Anyways, so I
believe I have a Null Modem

To get an ok prompt from a Windows hyper terminal press:

It might be advisable to get a longer null modem cable, as you know..
the different between a null modem and strait through cable is the

Good luck.

does length affect the pinout? I mean I even tried just hooking up the
null modem cable placing the two PC's backs to each other. It should
work in that case, right? I'm not at the computer now, but I'll try

1. hookup short null modem cable to each end
