Try holding STOP & F & powering up the system, this forces output via
serial port A

    STOP-D forces a diagnostic power on. The NVRAM Parameter
diag-switch? is set to true.
    Not supported by USB Keyboards.

    STOP-F forces input and output to ttya. Input from the Keyboard is
disabled except for L1-A.
    Not supported by USB Keyboards.

    STOP-N forces a set-defaults of the NVRAM.
    Not supported by USB Keyboards.
