Dear Managers,

I have a Supermicro H8DAR system board.
I have gained successful serial port access using Solaris 10 x86 03/05
with the following setup.

---Serial port access---
1: Setup the Solaris OS to send i/o via the serial port
#eeprom ttya-ignore-cd=true
#eeprom input-device=ttya
#eeprom output-device=ttya
2: Setup the x86 client (BIOS)
-Reboot the system
-press <Del> key during the boot up at the very beginning
-go to "Advanced / Remote Access Configuration"
-Remote Access [Enable]
-Serial Port number [COM 1]
-Serial Port Mode [09600 8,n,1]
-Flow Control [None]
-Redirection After BIOS POST [Always]
-Terminal Type [VT100]
-VT-UTF8 Combo Key Support [Enabled]
-Sredir Memory Display Delay [No Delay]

I really think this has something to do with Solaris. I have tried both core
cluster and user cluster.
I receive output via the Bios but when the boot up gets to Solaris I get
nothing.
Just wondering if anyone else has had any problems or know of other methods to
try and make this work?

Thank you for your help

Al
