Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers New Sparc box wont boot. Keyboard? Post 36611 by s93366 on Monday 2nd of June 2003 05:28:06 AM

By default the suns will assume that you are using some kind of terminal if no keyboard is connected to the box. All output/input will be sent trough com port 1 .

Do as tio tony suggested. Use a terminal or a terminal program such as reflection or minicom (on unix) and connect a null modem cable to the sparcs first com port.

The suns use special keyboards becuase the mouse is connected to the keyboard and so the keyboard and mouse share the same PS2 connector in the sparc. So a PC keyboard will not work!
