I'd like to have the console on the serial line to be able to
do remote maintanance on PROM level.
If I'm in front of the Sparc it would be nice to have keyboard/screen
available.

But as I have not found any hint for this configuration on the
internet, I suppose the machine stays headless.

Well, you could have the prom pointing at screen/keyboard, and the kernel,
with an open console at the serial port.

Read Documentation/serial-console.txt and "Serial Console" in the
Text-Terminal-HOWTO.

Serial-console and keyboard/monitor

2001-09-23 Thread Harald Geiger 
I installed Debian (Woody) on a Sparc Station 10.
Boot console is the serial line ttya. Thats OK.

In addition I'd like to operate the attached keyboard/monitor.
But all I get is:
  INIT: Id "1" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes

(Boot console on keyboard/monitor is OK)

Is it possible to simutaniously have serial console and
keyboard/monitor?
