happy new year everyone!
Bought a new null modem cable and connected to my open
firmware! Tim if you read this then you might remember
my issues with black screen the problem was that I
could access open firmware after specifying my
output-device on systemdisk it seemed like it’s not
saving this option well anyway I finally got to of via
modem port and here’s what I’ve been doing this
morning and was late for work:

0 > setenv invalid CONFIG name
 ok
0 > setenv auto-boot? false  ok
0 > setenv input-device kbd  ok
0 > setenv output-device /bandit@F4000000/ATY,mach64@D
 ok
0 > setenv real-base F00000  ok
0 > reset-all
Open Firmware, 1.0.5
To continue booting the MacOS type:
BYE<return>
To continue booting from the default boot device type:
BOOT<return>
 ok
0 > boot
RESETing to change Configuration!

(macos 8 booted up then I've restarted and returned to
OF)

After restart output and input goes to ttya- default
place when system can’t locate output-device but as
you may saw just few lines ago I’ve specified it
correctly:
0 > dev /  ok             
0 > ls      
……….
FF840D80:   /ATY,mach64@E
ok
0 > dev /bandit@F4000000/ATY,mach64@E  ok
0 > words
………………………….   open……….
ok
0 > setenv output-device /bandit@F4000000/ATY,mach64@E
 ok

best regards
