Re: LiveCD OpenBSD to HP RISC

G'day Luis,



Depending on the version of the GSP/MP you have, have you
tried either ctrl+b or 

wait five seconds and hit "p" to break into the
service console? I have only seen one

L3000. The console was directed to the
lan service port which you can point a browser

at. There should be aa
physical reset or you can disconnect the power and yank the 

battery which
should reset the password for the MP. I had to do this recently on an

older
machine. 



Also... the L3000 has a heck of a lot of ram and cpu's and
devices to check and bring

up prior to IPL and showing anything on the
console. It may take a few minutes depending

on how loaded the machine is
with disk and ram for anything to appear. 



I assume you've stuck a dumb
terminal and null modem into the control serial port on the

GSC/MP ? ..or is
it one of the ones with the funky 3-wire breakout's?



Regards,

Al.
