Hi,

> lacking a monitor that connects to my Indy, i think my best bet will be to build a mini-din 8 to db-9 serial cable and console in.  unfortunately, i have been unable to piece together the required cable with the information on the netbsd serial webpage, SGI's seem to lack a DSN pin (iirc, it's been a weekend since i looked at it) ... any suggestions for how the pins should be connected?  thanks in advance.

AFAIK you only need to connect RX, TX and ground.

The pinout is here: http://www.meadow.net/pinouts.html#sgiMD8
