Here's an update to my original query; many thanks to all those who
responded;
Gary Paveza, Paul Lyons suggested:
output-device=rsc-console
input-device=rsc-console
Andrew Everitt, SimonB, Grzegorz Bakalarski suggested:
# console -f
I tried these, unfortunately it's been no joy so far. Sun have since
replaced the card, and I've upgraded to ALOM 1.5.4 and the latest OBP level.
Rachel Polanskis might yet be my saviour; she had a similar issue and
the following fixed it:
output-device=rsc-console
input-device=rsc-console
*poweroff
*bootmode -u normal (from LOM)
*poweron
I'm waiting until my next downtime window, hopefully this will work, and
I'll summarize.
cheers
Sam
