You guys are confusing me again.

Can I get on the Ultra 5+'s console monitor with keyboard and install the
system and boot it to a console-only login prompt?

Or do I have to hook up a cable to the serial port and use it via a remote
machine connected to the serial port?

Matt's original comment that it was an Open Firmware driver made me think it
was the former (I don't know what "com driver" means, sorry), but now it's
sounding like that's not possible, unless there's "real kbd/ms drivers"?
