And no flow control.

I can get into the BIOS setup.
I can eventually get a legible BBS popup menu.
I can apparently, I think, even make a selection off it.
Anything beyond that?  Fuhgeddaboudit.


And now after pulling and reinstalling the service controller again to 
check for any loose RAM/VRAM, I'm back to can't even connect serial 
console.  Can't even boot from a brand new Solaris 11.4 install DVD.

I think this thing is screwed beyond my ability to fix.  And yet it was 
working fine right before the power went out, and it got shut down 
cleanly while still on battery power, and did not get brought back up 
again until after power was restored and stable.
