Re: Installing OpenBSD 4.6 on a Sun Netra X1

Okay, you guys are awesome! That was very easy -- install took < 15 min.

Now for the n00b questions...

1.  How do I get a lom> prompt with minicom from my linux box?

I'd like to remote into my linux machine from work tomorrow, then use
minicom to connect to the Netra via its serial port (which is connected
properly and works, since I walked through the OpenBSD install via
minicom/linux). Right now, when I start minicom, I get a login prompt for
OpenBSD. I can use SSH for that, I want to be able to poweron/poweroff via
LOM when I'm not at home.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!
You all have been great, and are really helping me out -- a new OpenBSD
user, on SPARC hardware no less!

Thanks again,
~Zach
