I've recently obtained a HP 712/80 that I'm going to use (among other
things) for a NetBSD/hp700 test box. Unfortunately, I didn't obtain
a keyboard or a video card for the machine. This box will put some
junk out the serial port during boot, but I'm 99% certain that this
guy was not converted to serial console before I got it.

When plugging in a "generic" PS/2 keyboard & generic SVGA monitor,
the monitor will power-up but not display anything. I know nothing of
the box's OS configuration, so I can't wait for it to boot, either.

Can anyone suggest a course of action for me from here? I'd greatly
appreciate it.

Thanks,
David
