AIX 5.3 BOS Overwrite Installation problem

Hi list,

I am trying to perform an AIX 5.3 new installation on a p505 machine. After plugging the machine on the power and connecting using Hyperterminal through COM1 I get the following screen:
Welcome
Machine type-model: 9115-505
Serial number: 102765A
Date: 2010-1-12
Time: 15:42:47
Service Processor: Primary
User ID:
I was expecting an Install Menu or something...like it says in the manual...for new or overwrite installations.

I do not have a User ID or password...this machine was used before but I donīt care whatīs there...I just want to install a fresh AIX on it.

After pressing the ON button on the front panel....I get something like this on the Hypertrm screen:

C100C104
C100C106
C100C108
C100C120
C100C121
C100C120
C100C121
C100C120
C100C121
....

and it goes like this indefinitely....

Any help is appreciated.

Mario

How much is "indefinitely" in minutes or hours? This is a 505.... give it some more time for this complete hardware check Smilie
