My sparc 20 saga continues...
After a lot of woe (NEVER buying from ebuyer again) and eventually shelling
out £25 for a null modem cable and gender changer on TCR, I have a booting
box and a terminal running.
I can get into SunOS5 and see the hardware ID of the NIC (which appears
unconfigured and pretty much unidentified - eg ifconfig gives me nothing and
I can see no obvious device file)
To be able to get anywhere I think I need to access the openboot - can I do
this over a terminal? If so, how?
Thanks
Adrian
