Hello,
I want to try sparc with OpenBSD and see if it is useful for what I
do. I do
not have a monitor or keyboard that can go with it so I hope to be
able to
install using a serial console. I have done this on i386 to i386. Now
I want to
know if (with the proper cable, and what kind might it be?) it is
possible
to run a serial console on the sparc and control it from an i386. Or are
the two systems so different that that is impossible? Are there any other
ways to install OpenBSD without monitor/keyboard?
Thanks,
Mike
PS This is the system I have if it makes a difference:
Sun ULTRA 1 Creator 3D UltraSPARC 167MHz 128MB RAM
I've done that, installed an sparc5 with no keyboard, no monitor and
only a serial null cable to a i386 obsd that handled both netbooting the
sparc and talking console with it. No problems.
