I'm not positive that it's 'n' and 'p', no ... it's been months and months since I last did it. It might be control-n and control-p. This question has come up before and should be in the archives. > As for the serial console, I am not quite sure how to do it. I believe it's in the handbook. Essentially just hook a null modem cable between the Sun box and a working box and `tip` or `minicom` to it (with the keyboard unplugged on the Sun). -T -- How refreshing, the whinny of a packhorse unloaded of everything! - Zen saying
