Hello At work, I used a vt100 console to install solaris on some sun servers (v210 and v480), you can have the "ok" prompt with a serial console. you should try to remove the graphic card and boot with your null modem cable connected on the 1st serial port. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
