[parisc-linux] Serial PDC console on 712/601

[parisc-linux] Serial PDC console on 712/601

[Christoph Plattner]

Hello HP hackers !

I have a problem setting the PDC console path to serial.
How can be done this on the HP 712/60.
On my 9000/720 I can use the `path' command on the PDC
console (admin mode). But on the 712/60, the `path' command
only sets the boot paths (primary, secondary), but not the
console.

Is it possible to use the 712/60 with serial console only
(no display and keyboard) ?
How can I set serial console ?

With friendly regards
	Christoph Plattner

Very intersting the method of using the ISL commands to switch
over. And I think I also can switch back using this method.
Is this correct ?

But what is this "dagger" card.
Where does the machine store the information ?
Flash/EEPROM/battery backuped SRAM ?
Can I do a "backup" copy (I have an universial chip programmer
at home, and other tools !) ?
Can I make such a "dagger" card (whatever it is ?

Please give me some hints, before I "risk" the change !

With friendly regards
