1. Log in to the system on head 0 as root.
2. Go to Toolchest > System > System Manager > Hardware and Devices > Serial
Device Manager. Click the Add Other button.
3. Continue the installation by reading all the information in each dialog box that
appears and following the on-screen directions.
When you are done, you will have configured the device to head 0.
4. Log out, and log in on head 0.
You are finished configuring a serial device to head 0.
To get a list of the devices configured to head 0 or head 1, follow these steps:
1. From Toolchest > Desktop, select Open UNIX Shell.
2. For devices configured for head 0 (the primary head) at the prompt type:
cd /dev/input/
For devices configured for head 1 (the secondary head) at the prompt type:
cd /dev/input1/
3. At the prompt type ls -l .
You will see something like:
keyboard -> /hw/input/keyboard
mouse -> /hw/input/mouse
sball -> /hw/ttys/ttyd1
Sball is the module name for Spaceball, in this example supported on head 0 (since this
was the listing for /dev/input/) and connected to serial port 1 (ttyd1).
