There should be a "HALT" button on the front underneath the OCP. There should be 3 buttons, they should go from left to right, power, reset, and halt. Halt may or may not stay in, you may have to hold it in, but it has been my experience that Alphas revert the console to graphics mode. HTH, AJ Schroeder -----Original Message----- From: Craig Burgess [mailto:craig@CheetahUSA.net] Sent: Monday, April 08, 2002 7:17 PM To: alpha Subject: OT: SRM boot options on UW 533au/as 1200 Strictly speaking, this is not a FreeBSD question because there's no OS on the machine. Also strictly speaking it is an Ulitmate Workstation which, according to everything i can find, is "nearly identical" to the AS1200. At boot the only thing that I can get to happen is the little LCD window shows that it's testing CPUs and finally that CONSOLE is STARTED. There is **no** indication that the keyboard is polled and there is no response to attempted keyboard input. Nothing at all shows up on a monitor -- there appears to be no video signal. I swapped video cards and keyboards to no effect. Is is possible that the SRM has been set to boot serial terminal mode? If so, is there a way to restore default or whatever it would take to use keyboard/monitor? (Alternatively, if it can be done in terminal mode, how does one install FreeBSD? What sort of cable gets used connected to what? I am really ignorant here.)
