Re: virtual console on serial port

2001-08-17 Thread Rod Beahan
I've only ever done this using hyperterm on a windoze laptop and tip on solaris
but the process on linux should be something like this:

Connect a null modem cable to port A of the sun box and then to com port on
client box.

on the linux box run minicom connecting to the com port you have connected your
null modem cable to with 9600bps 8data bit no parity 1 stop bit.

fire up the sun box with out keyboard or mouse present. this is critical as it 
is
what makes openBOOT use the first com port for console as it thinks you have a
dum term connected.

after a while you should see the openBOOT messages scrolling past on the minicom
display and be presented the login or OK prompt.

if you haven't got a null modem cable in your hip pocket you can make one by
crossing pins 2 & 3, with 7 going straight through on a brakeout box or similar

for Windoze NT use net stop "Service Name" and net start to list running
services, something like
net stop "WWW Publishing Service" should stop IIS, might be different name but.
