Mike,

Grant is correct. Your console is set to the serial port. The only
error in his response is that the yellow boxes are not put there by
the firmware. They are put there by the ite driver (internal terminal
emulator), which means that you succeeded in loading hp-ux and
it ran enough for the ite driver to draw the yellow boxes. If you
saw nothing on your display before this that indicates that your
console is set to the serial port rather than the graphics card.
