Re: help on minicom
Sparc hardware will send console to serial A automatically if the keyboard is not connected. Make sure you unplug the keyboard.

Hi Marc. I did not read the whole thread. Maybe I repeat some things.

You can boot your SS20 and get the openboot output on the serial console? You need to issue a BREAK signal during the boot process (e.g. memory check) - this will stop booting and put you into the openboot environment (PC talk: BIOS). Don't know out of my head how to do this with minicom. Should be possible. Now you can type something like: boot cdrom or get a lot of help Marc Regards, Hartwig -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
