Hi There,

I do have a Ultra 2 running Solaris 2.6 that i will be connecting the
serial
port to a
Portmaster Terminal Server

I would like to verify how to configure the system so that it does not
look
for A Keyboard
and Monitor during boot.

Do i use the "setenv" or the "eeprom" command ??

What values do i change ??

input-device
output device

Thanks

responded quickly with:

If there is no monitor or keyboard connected to the server it will
default to using serial port a. Otherwise you need to use eeprom to
set the device (or do it from the ok prompt).

eeprom input-device=ttya
eeprom output-device=ttya
____________________________________________________________-

shutdown the m/c. unplug the keyboard.
when you power cycle the m/c, if the system does not detect the
keyboard, it
automatically sends the signal
to the serial port a. Make sure you have a cross over cable serial
connection and the setup to 9800 8 N 1.
