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. John Marvin jsm@fc.hp.com
