V440 ALOM Console redirect failing

Hi all

Quick query; I've got 1 hour left to figure this out or abort :)

We have a V440 which I'm attempting to configure up to use ALOM. I can
connect to the ALOM card no problem, and get to the "sc>" prompt fine.

When I type "console" to get to the console, I just get nothing however;
I can't input anything and nothing is coming back in my direction either.

I thought this would be a console redirect issue, so I've set:

output-device=ttya
input-device=ttya

as per Sun docs, and powered off, then on, but the same thing happens -
I can get to the sc prompt but not into console mode.

Am I missing something obvious here? Here's my showsc output:

sc> showsc -v
Advanced Lights Out Manager v1.5.2

parameter value
--------- -----
if_network true
if_modem false
if_emailalerts false
sys_autorestart xir

sc_escapechars #.
sc_powerondelay false
sc_powerstatememory false
sc_clipasswdecho true
sc_cliprompt sc
sc_clitimeout 0
sc_clieventlevel 2
sc_backupuserdata true
sys_eventlevel 2
ser_baudrate 9600
ser_parity none
ser_stopbits 1
ser_data 8

If I can't get this to work the thing is being ripped out and I'll use
TTYB :) Of course I'll summarize.

cheers

Sam
