Hello
New v240 came without video card so we installed appropriate PCI video card and started the system. System boots from disk and does not recognize video card probably becase we have not installed drivers for it yet.
We connected Hyperterminal to serial management port and saw the system sitting at language configuration menu. We went on till the point where it asked to identify terminal and by mistake we selected some terminal which it is not happy with. The configuration menu is all screwed up and we see press esc-2 to continue and cursor is now all over the place. We can not continue configuring this system anymore. Everytime we reconnect or power cycle (because there is no stop-A sequence on the keyboard) we end up at the menu where it asks for IP address but again cursor and text is all over the place. We started in diagnostic mode and it wants to boot from net and gives ARP/RARP errors because network card is not configured yet.
How do I get in to this system and get back to menu where it asks for terminal via Hyperterminal? How do I use stop-A to boot from CDROM where hopefully it will ask for terminal? We need to get in to system to install video card drivers for monitor to work. How do I make it forget the setting it picked initially when we booted from disk first time?
Any help is appreciated.
