eeprom reset
2007-12-25 11:39:00
A predecessor connected our Sparc20 to a console switcher and in order to
allow it to display on a VGA monitor, he made some eeprom changes. What
changes I dont know. I have read the FAQ and tried some of its suggestions.
I have read the man page on eeprom. What I'm looking for is a way to
reset
the eeprom settings back to the original factory configuration.
Currently I have the system on a Raritan switcher and cannot see the
console. I have to connect in via the net to access the system. I could
connect a dumb terminal to the serial port but that isnt the solution I'm
looking for. BTW: I'm running SunOS 414. TIA.

The answers:
set-defaults at the OK prompt.
if you plug all the regular sun keyboard in and press ALT-N on power up you
get factory default.
turn off machine
connect a sun keyboard to the machine
hold down stop and n when you power on
this will reset it to factory defaults

IMHO this is a good candidate for the FAQ.
