Full Discussion: Help Interrupting Sparc 5 Boot
Operating Systems Solaris Help Interrupting Sparc 5 Boot Post 302959827 by hicksd8 on Friday 6th of November 2015 09:45:07 AM
Old 11-06-2015
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.
