Hello managers,

i asked:

>i have changed my SS10 (in fact a clone hamstation 10) to have the

>console being connected to a terminalserver. This is working fine.

>This way i can manage that machine via network.

>

>Now i want to have the original color screen and keyboard again

>to be connected to the SS10 and work as a "normal" working place/station

>without being a console.

>I had no success with my tries. As soon as i plug in the keyboard

>the serial console is no longer active.

>

>Is there some OpenBootPrompt parameter that i have overseen to manage

>this? Or is it impossible?

When i've found SunSolve - InfoDoc 16093 my question was answered:

   ok> setenv output-device ttya (instead of screen) and

   ok> setenv input-device ttya (instead of keyboard)

Now i can reach the console via net and let someone different work

on the screen (which is behind a wall from the point of view of the SS10)

With regards,
