Thanks for all the suggestions.. I don't think
anyone nailed it on the head though.. The problem
wasn't the booting from CD or mounting.. The problem
was that the serial port on the X2100 M2 isn't a
serial port.. No access to any bios or prom or
whatever there..
Seems that to determine whether or not you have
rebooted, you need a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
There are other things that can be setup, and will
probably work.. but whatever.. the good old days of
the serial terminal access are over..
Once I attached the monitor and stuff it was easy
to do the rest... Next problem came when I was
cloning the drive.. and the dd of the 250G drive
took quite a while... The cde had a timed lockout
on the monitor.. So.. It needed the input of the
password to unlock, so I could see whether or
not the dd had finished.. Keyboard/mouse drivers
didn't function.. No access.. couldn't type in
password.. Sun Support totally useless on this..
Damn silly stuff this embedded lom and stupid
locking cde environment.. Wasted a great deal
of time on it.. And still couldn't finish..
Tomorrow is another day!
Enjoyed the list response tho'
