Operating Systems Solaris Help Interrupting Sparc 5 Boot Post 302959827 by hicksd8 on Friday 6th of November 2015 09:45:07 AM

I could ask a number of questions here but firstly let me just say that on a Sun keyboard you can stop the boot process with STOP-A and if you're using a PC keyboard you can stop the boot process with CTRL-BREAK. However, as Don says, the system thinks that it doesn't have a keyboard. How is your minicom terminal physically connected?

Also, read this thread..............

Can't use 'break' command, Can't access 'ok' prompt.

that I was involved in and DukeNuke2 solved it. Read DukeNuke2's post.

Hope that helps.

KBDMUX(4)						   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						 KBDMUX(4)

NAME
kbdmux -- keyboard multiplexer SYNOPSIS
device kbdmux In /boot/device.hints: hint.kbdmux.0.disabled="1" DESCRIPTION
The kbdmux keyboard driver provides support for basic keyboard multiplexing. It is built around the idea of a ``super keyboard''. The kbdmux driver acts as a master keyboard consuming input from all slave keyboards attached to it. Slave keyboards can be attached to or detached from the kbdmux keyboard driver with the kbdcontrol(1) utility. SEE ALSO
kbdcontrol(1), atkbd(4), syscons(4), ukbd(4) CAVEATS
The kbdmux keyboard driver switches all slave keyboards into K_RAW mode. Thus all slave keyboards attached to the kbdmux keyboard share the same state. The kbdmux keyboard is logically equivalent to one keyboard with lots of duplicated keys. HISTORY
The kbdmux module was implemented in FreeBSD 6.0. AUTHORS
