Booting up C110
Wasn't getting too far using the STI console, so I switched to the
serial console at the boot monitor. Sadly, no text appears on my laptop-based "terminal", connected with null-modem cable. Also, the unit's doesn't appear to respond to the built-in keyboard, either.
So, 1) how do I reset the boot PROM to use the graphics card/monitor again?
2) Any help on getting 0.9 or any other kernel booting would be a great help...
(It has booted, to the point of displaying kernel sign-on messages, then complaining about not being able to allocate a console, so I know things "sort-of" work)

You should be able to get output from the serial port 1 when the keyboard/mouse are disconnected. At least all the workstations I know of work that way...You didn't need to change the console/keyboard path at te PDC prompt.

You don't until you get serial working and point the console path back at the graphics(2) (or whatever it's called).

32-bit/serial kernel should just boot. Bug in ccio might cause problems installing from CD.

I'll assume that's with sticon. I expect serial console to work better.

I'm in the same boat... before I got the sti stuff, I tried the serial port and now don't get any output (mostly due to dud nullmodem connections on the HP box.. it's far too recessed to use with "normal" serial connctions).... so if you get an answer to this, please let me know too.. might work on my 715.

testing? What's that? If it compiles, it is good,
if it boots up it is perfect.

My 715/100 was set using "path con graphics.1" at the boot menu. Once I found a null modem cable that fit the port on the 715 I used HyperTerminal on a Win2K box (set to 9600/8/n/1) and it booted right up...

Have you guys tried removing the battery to reset it?

That thought crossed my mind.. it will default back to what though?
