It's hard to hook up a serial console on K220?! Under HPUX, "setboot" command can set the primary boot path so it can reboot from any disk/lan you want. You would have to write a similar program for parisc-linux to poke stuff into NVRAM. It might be a PDC call to do it; I don't know. But it's doable. grant Grant Grundler Unix Systems Enablement Lab +1.408.447.7253
