Hi,
I have a SparcStation 5 over here running OpenBSD.
It sits without a monitor or keyboard under my desk.
I see it through ssh from my w2k laptop.
Now, I modified the boot floppy, but how do i access my SS via serial. I mean, what sorts of cables do I need, where can I get 'm, what (windows) software would one use to initiate a serial connection.
thank you
nice article btw, been wanting to do that for a long time now

Windows/OpenBSD dual boot
Then in Windows, start hyperterminal and chose to connect "Direct to com0" with settings:
Bits per second = 9600
Data bits = 8
Parity = None
Stop bits = 1
Better still, go buy "Absolute OpenBSD" by Michael W. Lucas - craking read!
Cheers
