I'll second this. Most Suns will default to sending the console to
serial 'A' if they don't detect a keyboard. I have a Sparc 5 at work
that's been through two upgrades without having a head attached.
If you really want the keyboard and mouse working, I might have the
spare parts you need. Or, if you can make one of the MIT swaps there are
usually two or three vendors with type 5 or 6 keyboards and mice for $5-10
each.

Well, the SparcStation 10 is sun4m, and Linux isn't too bad on those.
I have seen RH5.2 on an IPC, and you're right, it stinks.
