I guess I'm not quite sure what you mean by "connect serial terminal to serial port A at 9600,n,8,1" That just went way over my head. If I disconnect the screen, how can I verify it is booting up? This is one of those questions that I know has an obvious answer and am almost embarrased to ask

Hi,
I got hold of a SUN SPARCstation Voyager today, but I don't have the root password. I made a linux bootdisk and tried to sue that to edit the shadow file, but it comes up saying "magic number" (since it's not a UFS floppy).
I haven't got any recovery disks for it, and no documentation.

I apologize in advance that this is probably more of a hardware question than a unix/software one.
I've got a seemingly brand-new sparcstation 20 that came with 2 memory modules and that's about it.
I've added a new 2 GB HDD and a VSIMM Onboard SX Graphics module.
So, I assume with the... (2 Replies)

uhsoctl
UHSOCTL(1) BSD General Commands Manual UHSOCTL(1)
NAME
uhsoctl -- connection utility for Option based devices
SYNOPSIS
uhsoctl [-a apn] [-c cid] [-p pin] [-u username] [-k password] [-r path] [-f path] [-b | -n] interface
uhsoctl -d interface
uhsoctl -h
DESCRIPTION
uhsoctl is a small connection utility for Option N.V. devices that are based on Options packet interface and uses proprietary AT_* calls to
establish connections. The utility (tries to) configure both default route and name servers (/etc/resolv.conf).
By default uhsoctl detaches from the terminal upon on a successful connection, a few command-line options exists that allows this behavior to
be changed.
uhsoctl attempts to find a usable controlling serial port based on the provided network interface. If this fails you might specify a serial
port manually.
OPTIONS
-a apn
Specify APN to connect to.
-c cid
Specify CID (Context ID) to use, by default CID 1 is used. If an APN has been configured once, it's enough to specify the CID used for
further accesses.
-p pin
Specify SIM PIN.
-u username
Specify username.
-k password
Specify username.
-r path
Path to resolv.conf, default /etc/resolv.conf. Use /dev/null to disable updating of name servers.
-f path
Explicitly set the serial port to use as controlling terminal. Might be needed if the automatic detection fails.
-b Fork into background directly, before a connection has been established.
-n Never fork into background, run entirely in foreground.
EXAMPLES
Connect to ``apn.example.com'' on interface ``uhso0'' and use PIN ``1234'' to enable the SIM card.
uhsoctl -a apn.example.com -p 1234 uhso0
Disconnect from a previously established connection.
uhsoctl -d uhso0
