Re: LiveCD OpenBSD to HP RISC

Thanks Alastair,

Your suggestions were very usefully for me. Using the null modem cable I
could to see the process boot, and I could to interrupt it, and change the
root password.

I am very gratefully with you. Now you have a friend in Venezuela - South
America. If you need something from Venezuela, or when you want to visit on
vacation Venezuela, please let me know.

Best Regards,

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.
