Hello All,
Please accept my apologies in advance for this question, but I am relatively
new to this end of town and am a little confused....
I am at a stage where my NetBSD/i386 box is almost finished being setup for
the vax netboot. My vax is a MicroVAX 3 in a BA123. I am just a bit
confused with where I am going to see the output of the kernel. On the back
there is a panel marked Emulex with 8 Male DB25's. These are connected to
an Emulex card with not much more than it's name on it. These DB25's are
ladled Channel 1 to Channel 8. Should I be plugging in a terminal on #3?
The box also came with a VT320 and a cable that seems to connect the DB25 on
the back of the VT320 to a 15pin (-ish :-) female elsewhere on the back of
the box. There is a 3 position switch near this 15pin with a red 7-segment
"digit" type LED indicator. There is a dial next to the LED that looks like
baud speed. There are three symbols next to the switch, but it's not
immediately clear what they mean. Should I stick with this VT320 and play
with the switch??
Please accept me reiterating my apologies, I am sure this has been covered
before but I am having trouble translating the information to the hardware I
have in front of me.
Thanks to all for the other help btw, this list is a little pot-o-gold :-)
James
