Thank you. I did some hunting around and synced up my terminal program with the parameters I got off a printenv on the OpenBoot prompt, and discovered my terminal program was using Hardware flow control, and OpenBoot had none. So I changed my terminal program to no flow control, and voila! btw, I like the 2.2 installation. Is the ability to grab all the base and rescue files off of http new in 2.2 or is it just for the sparc? Either way, it makes it *SO* much easier.
