I have a sparcstation 20 I am trying to install 3.0 stable onto, and

GX-series SBus video card, and the only thing I could find after
quite a
bit of Googling around is to use a serial terminal for installation.
Is
there any way to pass options to the install kernel via SILO so that
I
can use the Sun keyboard & graphics adapter for the system console,
or
should I go buy a Sun null modem cable?
I installed Woody (= 3.0 stable) on some SS20 with SBUS and with
onboard graphics, never had to use a serial console ?!?
I suggest to check your openboot environment.
I don't have access to my SS20's until monday, if you still need
help, feel free to contact me.

I checked OpenBoot, and even tried the 'reset-defaults' command (after
munging the config pretty well) to no avail. I'm baffled - I can't
seem to figure out what I'm overlooking... but it's got to be
something simple...
