Wow. I got a million responses, way too many to list individually! A big thanks to everyone who wrote back, Most of the responses suggested one of two things: 1) While holding down the STOP+N keys, power on the box and wait for the keyboard lights to flash twice. This will reset the NVRAM to the factory defaults. I have not tried this. 2) Power on the system and wait for the system to beep and the power LED to blink. Quickly press the power button twice. This will *temporarily* override the NVRAM with the default values. You can then use printenv/setenv to change your settings. I tried this and it worked as advertised. Sun is now coming out to replace the CPU board since it looks like the CPU went south. Thanks again for all your help!

Unfortunately, someone without a clue set the NVRAM parameters to be "input-device = ttyb" and "output-device = ttyb". There is no ttyb on a Blade 100, just a ttya. We can no longer get into this system at all, either through a console connection on ttya or with a keyboard and monitor connected. Any suggestions on how to get in? Thanks, Tom _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagers _______________________________________________ sunmanagers mailing list sunmanagers@sunmanagers.org http://www.sunmanagers.org/mailman/listinfo/sunmanagersReceived on Mon Mar 18 11:51:53 2002
