Well not really a boot problem but a few related questions. If I do a
boot scsi.6.0 isl
palo displays the "options" menu and asks for some action (number or 'b').
At this point the box is dead - no response from keyboard or serial. Is this supposed to work on this HW?

Can I control the console output (serial or STI/PDC) with a console=... parameter in the boot string. This is the CDROM 0.5 stock kernel+palo installed on a HD.
Can I change the /dev/console device numbers to do the same? Before I get too far.. Is the STI mode working at all on a 712/60? The docs and reports are a bit vague on this.

TIA.

Regards,

Robin.

Well, we are doing all the ASIC work on Suns - and I'm edging PC's with Linux in where I can. My 712/60 is an old decommissioned dns server. Getting rid of H-PUX makes it a great toy - thanks guys.
