- Hello,
-
- I am trying to boot a Sun 2 (68010) system which has no video
- subsystem. I would like to attach a VT100 to one of the CPU's
- serial lines and use that as a console. How do I go about doing
- this? Do I need special boot PROM's? (I have both versions of the
- Sun 2 CPU board.)
-
- Any help is greatly appreciated.
- Thanks,
- --Rich
