I don't know how. Unlike the fully installed system, the installer doesn't give me a shell. The screen just goes black and the machine seems to do nothing. I'll give it another go, now that I have a working installation (which is the take-away message I think - once installed, it works fine and it's great :-) > Using which driver? It might just be using some generic FB driver. Dedicated, I think (I hacked the EDID from my display directly in the deidcated kernel driver to get the proper resolution, since the cable didn't let the EDID through) ; I then got the 24-bits color display in X, so it's not PROM-only. ... should be this one: < http://netbsd.gw.com/cgi-bin/man-cgi?sparc64/ffb+4+NetBSD-7.0> > Did you try a serial console then?

I wanted to, but I no longer have a system with a serial port, and adapter or a (null-modem) serial cable there. It's been a while since I needed those, they're buried in an attic someplace else :-( Cordially, -- Romain Dolbeau
