Re: Keyboard fails on Sparc64 install of NetBSD 4.0.1

Thanks for the suggestion. I got the serial interface working, but am
halted at approximately the same spot.

Probably still sounds like a dumb question, but nothing I press here
gets me any further. Is this now a serial problem? Perhaps I have the
settings wrong, I used 9600/N/8/1.

I'm not new to *nix, but as I mentioned, I'm new to NetBSD - and I'm
new to Sparc also. I used some setenv settings in the PROM to get the
system to run i/o through ttya, and set the boot sequence to "cdrom
disk net".  Is there something else I'm missing?

Thanks again, for your help and patience.
