Next Problem caused by "serial console doesn't work and cause system die"

2007-12-25 2:00:00

Hello All,

Thanks for all your reply. I will summarize later because the problem is not
solved completedly.

As many people told, I hold down STOP-N after power on, the monitor can show
the banner now. But the next problem is,
it didn't go ahead, just hang on there. I tried to press STOP-A, there is no
response.

Thanks.

Jeremy

Subject: serial console doesn't work and cause system die

Hello,

I tried to boot my Ultra 1 with serial console but now I got trouble.

What I did is,

in prom,

setenv output-device ttya
setenv input-device ttya

and then connect serial port A to a PC's serial port A, open a Windows 2000
hyper terminal,to try to boot the Ultra 1 from that serial console.
Unfortunately that doesn't work. I cannot see any message from either
monitor or the hyper terminal.
The computer is toally not able to boot up now!

What I tried next,

Open the box, find the NVRAM, and the plug it out, (I think it will flush
the content of it), but it didn't help.
I tried to find where is battery, but I failed to find one.

So sun managers, What can I do now?

Thanks very much.

Jeremy
