Hello HP hackers !

I have a problem setting the PDC console path to serial. How can be done this on the HP 712/60.
On my 9000/720 I can use the path' command on the PDC console (admin mode). But on the 712/60, the path' command only sets the boot paths (primary, secondary), but not the console.

Is it possible to use the 712/60 with serial console only (no display and keyboard) ?
How can I set serial console ?

With friendly regards
Christoph Plattner

Very intersting the method of using the ISL commands to switch over. And I think I also can switch back using this method. Is this correct ?

But what is this "dagger" card.
Where does the machine store the information ? Flash/EEPROM/battery backuped SRAM ?
Can I do a "backup" copy (I have an universial chip programmer at home, and other tools !) ?
Can I make such a "dagger" card (whatever it is ?

Please give me some hints, before I "risk" the change !

With friendly regards

From Pa-RISC/Linux Boot Howto:

3.1.2.3.3. How can I change the boot console to serial on a 712?

Unfortunately, you can't. Although 712s are configured for in-house
HP development to use serial console, this configuration
isn't supported in the field. You have to use a graphics console for
712s.

But it seems you can, after dangerous manipulations:
