[j-nsp] How to access routing engine BIOS
At the very beginning of the RE-850 bootup process, there is a following message displayed: Award Modular BIOS v4.51PG, An Energy Star Ally Copyright (C) 1984-98, Award Software, Inc. BIOS Version 1.2 11/02/2004-i440GX-SMC67X-2A69TU00C-00 Press DEL to enter SETUP However, pressing the Delete button(or F1, F2, Esc which are often used in order to enter BIOS) does nothing. It this possible to access BIOS on some routing engines? Is this possible to change boot device order in routing engine BIOS? regards, martin ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

It's very tricky. :) -- Richard A Steenbergen r...@e-gerbil.net http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

Ok :) Any hints? Even if I press DEL rapidly, it still continues with normal boot process.. regards, martin 2011/2/9 Richard A Steenbergen r...@e-gerbil.net: On Wed, Feb 09, 2011 at 07:41:36PM +0200, Martin T wrote: Press DEL to enter SETUP However, pressing the Delete button(or F1, F2, Esc which are often used in order to enter BIOS) does nothing.

Make sure your serial program is sending the correct code when you hit DEL. I believe the RE is looking for ^?, not (for example) ^[[3~. -- Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble. ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp

Keep trying until you get it right. :) You need to hit it sooner than you expect, due to the lag time of drawing the screen at 9600bps. I've done it hundreds of times, it DOES work, but the timing is tricky. -- Richard A Steenbergen r...@e-gerbil.net http://www.e-gerbil.net/ras GPG Key ID: 0xF8B12CBC (7535 7F59 8204 ED1F CC1C 53AF 4C41 5ECA F8B1 2CBC) ___ juniper-nsp mailing list juniper-nsp@puck.nether.net https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/juniper-nsp
Re: [j-nsp] How to access routing engine BIOS
I see. Currently DEL key will send: ^[[3~27 0033 0x1b 91 0133 0x5b 51 0063 0x33 126 0176 0x7e I'll try to map this to ^?. Setkeycodes should do the trick. In addition, I'll try to press DEL even sooner. I'll let you know. regards, martin 2011/2/9 Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net: Once upon a time, Martin T m4rtn...@gmail.com said: Ok :) Any hints?
