I am trying to get Ultrix running on my DECstation 5000/240.

 

I can get output on the alternative serial console, but no matter what I do
with the setenv console command, or installing/removing the video card, the
firmware console will not take input from the alternate serial console.
However if I boot Ultrix to single-user mode, I can type commands into the
serial console quite normally. This tells me that there is nothing wrong
with the cable or the emulator.

 

Does anyone know why I cannot type input to the firmware console from the
alternative serial console?

 

Thanks

 

Rob
