Operating Systems Solaris How to get to the OK prompt without Sun keyboard Post 50300 by woofie on Wednesday 21st of April 2004 12:42:12 AM

I had to set a Solaris machine (Solaris 9) using a dumb terminal. So the sun keyboard wasn't used.

I use Ctrl + C to break into the ok> prompt. This worked fine for me.

Give it a go.
