- Yeah, that's probably because "diagdev" isn't set.

- When I first beheaded my 3/60LE, I hooked up a dumb terminal to it and

- settings for a few days. I nearly flipped when I typed "b" at the monitor
- prompt and that message came up, thinking I had a serious problem.

- Then calm, rational thought took over. ;-)

- Speaking of EEPROM, does anybody have the information on configuring the
- serial ports for use with the ROM monitor? The Sun eeprom guide I was
- looking at last time I had one of my machines out at Sun listed them, but I
- didn't think to copy it. I'd like to set my headless system to talk at
- 19200N81 with RTS/CTS handshaking. If somebody has a list of these eeprom
- values/locations, I'd be grateful.
