Changing The Console - Planar DOME Md5/DFP Installation Manual

92 | Installing the Board and Driver in a Sun PCI Workstation

Changing the Console

The console appears, by default, on the first head of the first
board in the system's probe list. You can change the console
with the pci-probe-list environment variable. If you want
to change the console without altering the probe list, change
the output-device environment variable instead.
You can use the setenv command to change environment
variables.
To use the setenv command
1. Power on or halt the system to get to the ok> prompt.
2. Type setenv output-device <device node> .
The device node portion of the setenv command differs for
different Sun systems and board locations.
These examples describe how to change the console in
Ultra™ 10 and Ultra 30 systems. For more details, refer to
your Sun documentation.
3. To make the Md5/DFP board the console in an Ultra 10
system, type:
setenv output-device /pci/DOME/Md5DFP
For an Ultra 30 system, which has two PCI buses, type:
setenv output-device /pci@X/DOME,Md5DFP
where X is the location of the board.
For example, if the board is installed at location 1f,4000 ,
type:
setenv output-device /pci@1f,4000/DOME,Md5DFP
4. Reboot the system.
