I also have an Ultra10, and when you boot, the PROM expects a

Emmanuel,
The SparcStation 10 is not an Ultra ;)
However, my Ultra2 (with Woody) is completely headless and behaves the
same way that you describe.. even the "keyboard not found, using tty for
i/o" appears on the serial console (9600, N, 1, no flow control).
I would also add that in my SS20 (ROM 2.25R) and in my SS1+,
if I do not have a serial console connected to its serial port when I
boot them keyboard-less, they refuse to write to the serial console
once it is connected. I do not know if the events are related or it
is just a freak coincidence, but...
