Re: Installing OpenBSD 4.6 on a Sun Netra X1

I think that works from the 'ok' prompt, but what I was getting (until I set
serial0 to LOM only) was a login prompt for OpenBSD -- as if I had connected
to the machine via SSH -- no way to get back to the sun box's ok/lom prompts
from what I could tell -- tried break, #, etc. -- but separating the LOM
from regular management, and telling serial0 to do LOM only did the trick...

Now, when I SSH to my linux box, I can open minicom and I get an lom>
prompt, so when the Netra X1 is turned off, I can power it on, etc. -- THEN
open another SSH session to my linux box, and connect to the Netra via SSH
from there.

The Netra is loud, so I want to be able to power it on/off from wherever I
am, instead of leaving it on all the time -- until I can find a closet for
it.

Thanks again for all the help/suggestions. This is my first OpenBSD install,
so I'm sure I'll be back with questions!
