Hello,
Thanks to the following for their responses:
Casper Dik <casper@holland.sun.com>
Alex Stade <alex@trdlnk.com>
Peter Ondruska <peter@ondruska.com>
Simon Burr <simes@bpfh.net>
The consensus was to use ttya instead of com1, which worked perfectly
(I really should have tried that, despite docs.sun.com and other searches
thus far stating that ttya does not work but com1 does).
(my initial question)

Subject: Install Solaris 9 X86 Via Serial Port?
hello,
i'm attempting to install Solaris 9 X86 via the serial port by adding
the following lines to /solaris/bootenv.rc on the boot floppy (created
from the image file on the Software CD #2):
setprop output-device com1
setprop input-device com1
(I made these changes to the bootenv.rc file on a Linux box)
On boot it says:
Solaris boot sector, version 1
Solaris mdb exec load error
Does anyone have experience doing an install via serial port like
this, that can offer any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for your help -- ivan Fetch.
