Thanks to the following people for their replies and suggestions:
Andrew Maddox
Patrick McDermott
David Newton
William Yodlowsky
The main suggestion was to use 'rsc-console' as the device to set for
input and output devices (setenv output-device rsc-console and setenv
input-device rsc-console). The Sun documentation erroneously states to
use 'rsc'. Also, as was pointed out to me, I should have checked the
'devalias' command to see what the device name was (it did say
'rsc-console' in the list.
This fixed my problem. I can now connect to the console via the RSC.
The other suggestion was to check SunSolve for RSC patches, as there
have been problems in the past with the RSC and V880 and 280R servers.
Thanks to all other respondents.

Original question:
I have a new V880 server with an RSC card. I would like to use the RSC
card since the server is going to a remote office where there are no
Solaris sysadmins and no console servers.
I have installed the RSC software from the Supplement CD that came with
Solaris 8 2/02 (I'm running that version of Solaris on it). I followed
the install guide to the letter (including redirecting the console to
the RSC), but I can't to the console via the RSC. I've reset the server,
but get the following at the beginning:
rsc not found.
rsc not found.
and then it sends output to ttya. Every other aspect of the RSC card
works as expected, including email paging and user accounts.
I'm about ready to call Sun support, but thought I'd ask you fine folks
first.
Any ideas what's wrong?
