This is a hardware question...

I have an hp380 running HP-UX (don't worry...not for long...) that does 
the following at *powerup*

	Remote console at 26
	After beeps, hit L <return> to use local display as console

Well, this tells me that it's not assuming that I want to use the ite as 
console...(it's a hyperion [sp?] that I grabbed out of a 433)  After I do 
the L <return> thing, the machine does it's regular boot cycle...You 
know...What most hp's do at boot...bootrom revision, copyright, select 
system to boot...etc...Well, after the kernel loads and starts, the 
display just goes blank and never comes back, until a reboot, at which 
time I get the 'hit L <return>' message again.

The curious thing is, is that machine worked fine with that video board 
*forever*, up until I moved it across campus from the COE machine room to 
my office...I'm imagining that I lost a jumper, or something...

Assuming that this was the case, I pulled the cpu board and peered 
around...Well, I couldn't find any jumpers that were well labeled.  There 
are 4 jumpers (one connected) on the edge of the board that points at 
the front fan...right next to the blinkey-lights...I'm wondering if I 
jolted one or more of these little guys off, loosing it out of the front 
grille...

Anyway, as soon as I can get a console, I'm going to install NetBSD on it 
and use it as the CS Dept's new anon ftp server (hey!  It's a step up 
from the 375 we use now :-)

Can anyone shed some light on this, or perhaps point me at some hardware 
docs for the 380?

BTW...the 380 is the single-most cluttered cpu board I have *ever* seen!  :-)

Thanx...
