I found it; I take it this selects the default console device. Switching
it doesn't make any difference---the result of either is the same:
- no display (not even an un-synced one)
- no disk spinup
Also DEC spins the drives up after the boot starts not
at powerup.
I knew that; I mentioned the fact as a benchmark as to how far (or not so
far) I was getting.
The monitor if there is no disks(at all) should
display a countdown as
it does self test. The monitor can be interacted with for diagnostic
uses.
The ultimate stop of the LED disagnostics is with positions 1 and 7 lit.
I was unable to locate a usable cable today for hooking up a serial
terminal; I'll have one of our VARs try to get one to me next week.
Anything I can try in the meanwhile?
ok
