[parisc-linux] setting up the STI console on a 735/99

So I have now succesfully installed the base system on a external narrow SCSI. I can boot off of it. Now the next question is how do I set it up to go to the STI console instead of the serial?

I tried that but with the same result. Is there any way to get away from the
serial console and use the monitor for the 735? We're trying to set up a lab
of 700 and 735 for students so we need to get them running without the
serial console.

I don't know whether linux supports graphical console on 735 yet.
You could try enabling a line in /etc/inittab to spawn a getty on
tty0, and see if you then get a login prompt.
