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.)
