This "rare config" is indeed possible.
1. copy /usr/dt/config/Xservers to /etc/dt/config/Xservers
2. Change the last line in /etc/dt/config/Xserver
from: 0 Local local_uid@console root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0
-nobanner
to: 0 Local local_uid@none root /usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0
-nobanner
3. Then Change the following prom settings
eeprom "output-device=ttya"
eeprom "input-device ttya"
4. Also a need to change /etc/inittab entries for the new console to the
appropriate Terminal type "by defaut it is "-T sun" to something like "-T
vt100".
As we went enterprise-wide (which neccessitated Console Management) we also
needed to preserve existing investments on our LAN farm Sun KVM switch
system (we are able to keep our servers "headfull"). In such a setup, our
DataCenter folks continue to have access to a graphocal "console" while
sysadmins get to keep Console access...
Thanks to all that replied and apologies for this late Summary.
