So I borrowed a sun ultra 10 workstation. Installed bsd on it without a problem through serial console, but I noticed someting interesting and I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix this. When I first got it and started playing with it I noticed that the system console displayed sun os bootup messages at the console with extremely oversized fonts. The boot messages did not fit in the screen properly.Everything at the console seemed extremely blown up. First I thought itwas the openboot firmware. So i went into the firmware and configured the rows and columns to be 34x80. reset the machine ... didn't work.then i reset openboot to factory defaults. then i changed my vga output to another monitor. nothing changed. anybody know why the system console could be displaying such a disproportionately large system console??? i'm not on this list so please CC me :)
