yes, you need to attach a .1" 2x5-pin header (minus one pin)
to the space conveniently located on the drive backplane away
from anything that's too easy to damage.
you need
the serial console to install the OpenBSD boot loader onto
flash, or to netboot, but not to actually run it (though it helps).
I moved j3 to j4 as well (irq for serial port, info on
http://www.debonaras.org/wiki/Info/ThecusN2100 internals page)
much nicer for port-building
than a zaurus :-)
Speaking of zaurus -- any way to get a com0 on this thing? I notice a
funny port under a rubber pad on the back of the 3100 -- I don't know
of any cable for the port on the back, but my dmesg indicates theres
at least one comport logically...
Would be nice to plug into a conserver for debugging and bug posts,
I've had a few panics... If soldering is required on this zaurus
board, count me out!
thanks to all involved with porting to this arch...
second this! -- Though a few panics, my zaurus is as stable as I
imagine a mobile i386 would be under the kind of abuse it gets...
