Hi All, I have two servers currently colocated, one running FreeBSD 8.2/amd64 , and the other is a Sun Netra T1 that I am attempting to install FreeBSD 8.2 on, over serial.
When the system booted up, I was presented with a list of console options and I chose the first option, I believe to be ANSI (I have a knack for never picking the right one). The keyboard mapping was a bit screwed up, but somehow I managed to get to the Fixit shell. In order to test that I had my secondary NIC setup correctly, I just ran 'ping 10.0.0.2' and now it wont stop. If I hit 'Ctrl+C', it keeps going. I tried 'Ctrl+Z' in order to attempt to suspend it so I can kill the process, but that brings up the 'Abort, Restart, Continue' screen, but it gets interrupted by ping. I tried sending a break command using '~#', but I can't get to the OpenFirmware to restart in attempt to pick the correct terminal settings. IIRC, the break is not supported without a kernel that supports it. It could be easier to call my ISP and have someone power down the machine for me, as the Netra has LOM. In a worse case scenario, I can swing by and do it myself after work. My question is, is there another way to either 1) Stop ping or 2) Get to the openfirmware console?
