Hi folks,
Sorry for what is probably a very newbie question.
I am trying to install netbsd (from ftp.netbsd.org) on a Macintosh 9500/132.
Naturally the monitor is completely black, so I read the FAQs and tried
some things and figured that I could just use an old VT510 that I have
laying around here to figure out what I need to put in the output box of
the OFW.
I bought a mac "serial" cable, 8 pin on the Mac side and "normal" 25 pin on
the other side and connected it between my Mac and my VT510. I set up the
VT as described the FAQ.
I am still not getting anything. Will a VT not work in this case, or do I
need a different type of terminal?
Thanks,
Mark
