I found the solution. I had console redirection turned on at the BIOS (used when we did solaris x86 installs). Anyhow, once that was turned off everything became happy. When is Intel gear going to adopt something like OBP? If there is one thing I simply can't stand about Intel gear is the dang BIOS. How are people out there doing remote installs remotely? Is anyone using PC Weasel cards? The console redirection in the BIOS option just blows. Ok enough of my ranting...back to work. -Dan On Tue, 3 Dec 2002, Lynn, Michael (DCS) wrote: > What does your sysconfig look like?
