Thanks to those who replied: system administration account [sysadmin@astro.su.se] Kynaston Roger [Roger.Kynaston@lbhf.gov.uk] Solution (as suggested by sysadmin@astro.su.se): Will it boot if you connect a device to serial port A? If so, you probably need to tell it to ignore the lack of a carrier on ttya. Try eeprom ttya-ignore-cd If it is set to false, do eeprom ttya-ignore-cd=true > -----Original Message----- > > Greetings- > > I have an Ultra 1 (167MHz, 128 MB) that refuses to boot without > an attached > keyboard.
