Usually, if you can't tpye to the SPARC machine, the keyboard is still
attached or the OBP dictates the use of a specific device.
Check in "printenv" for
output-device=
input-device=
If you can't do all that, connect the Sun keyboard, power up your machine
and type the key combination <STOP> "D" several types.
The screen (output-device) should say "NV defaults restored" and
inout-device and output device will follow standard Sun rules at power up
(it will use the dynamic recofiguration to determine where too accept input
and drop output. Default: Sun keyboard and framebuffer if keyboard attached,
or serial port A (9600,8,n,1,-) if no Sun keyboard is attached.
Hope this helps,
-- Peter
