Sorry if I asked you that already, I can't remember. Are you using xdm?
If so did you disable the getty(8) attached to the console in /etc/ttys?
So far so good!
Is there a planned fix?
Thanks

No.
But there is a better workaround in the works.

Alright guysthe serial cable was indeed bad. I finally got the ok prompt.
Only one problem. I can't type anything at the ok prompt. I can

If I let it come up to a SunOS login, I can type stuff. This is really

you want to send a BREAK over the serial line. from cu, you do
this by typing ~# at the start of a line (i.e. press enter first).

If your devaliases are set up correctly type:

You can create a null modem cable
I'm probably going to return this cable. Actually I could just ask the
IT guys at our uni about the serial cable, since these two beauties
were lying in their salvage bin.

Hi guys,
So, I'm having some trouble getting OpenBSD installed on two
UltraSPARCs that are perfectly functional it seems. I tried the
monitor + keyboard, but found that to be a hassle as Sun requires you
use their keyboard and monitor which I don't have. Anyways, so I
believe I have a Null Modem

It might be advisable to get a longer null modem cable, as you know..
the different between a null modem and strait through cable is the
pinout.
Good luck.

You should have serial management port installed on your Sun Blade

Hi guys,
This is really an OpenBSD, but because I was going to install OpenBSD
on it, I figured you all with Blade experience can help me
troubleshoot this problem.
So I don't have a Sun Monitor, just a regular CRT. I'm given two

Thanks guys.
I have just received and installed a Sun Blade 1000. This machine is
not included on the sparc64 port page, perhaps it should be added?
It is listed on sparc64.html, as ``Sun Blade 1000/1500/2000/2500''.
It seems everything works, however, the graphics card is somewhat
wasted as it cannot

No SMP yet for sparc64; if it takes half as long to do stuff as
