iOpener Update - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

6 Apr 2000

I'm getting closer!  When I see the splash screen, I hit TAB and saw the
following Award BIOS startup screen:

	Award Modular BIOS V4.51PG
	Copyright (C) 1984-99, Award Software, Inc.

	(IPS_TRI) EVALUATION ROM - NOT FOR SALE

	IDT WinChip C6 CPU at 200MHz
	Memory Test : 	30720 + 2048K shared memory

	Award Plug and Play BIOS Extension v1.0A
	Copyright (C) 1999, Award Software, Inc.
	    Suggested SDRAM CAS Latency Time is " 2  "
	    Detecting IDE Primary Master  ... None
	    Detecting IDE Primary Slave    ... SunDisk SDTB-128

	Your i-opener is undergoing a necessary update. This may
	take 30 minutes or more. If for some reason the service 
	is not working correctly within an hour, please contact
	Technical Support at 1-800-298-9525 to report the problem.

	Press DEL to enter SETUP
	10/01/1999-VP4-686-IPC_VIAC-00

When I hit CTRL-ALT-HOME, I get a "login:" prompt.  The HOME,4 combo
doesn't
get me a root prompt.

So close, and yet so far!! :-)

  Has anyone else seen this?  The only thing I get
when I power up my  iOpener
  is a screen that says "Welcome!  i-opener
Out of the box. In the  outlets. On
  the counter. Nothin' but 'Net!" 
Nothing else.  No other screens, or  startup
  messages. Control-alt-home, or home-4 do nothing.

 Press TAB as soon as you see this screen.  It will switch to text mode
 and give you the usual Award BIOS startup screen.  It will say press Del
 for setup, that's wrong, you need Ctrl/Alt/Esc, so you'll need to put on a
 keyboard that has an Esc key.
