[SunRescue] SUN IPX Questions

[Brian McCloskey]

you won't be able to use the sbus framebuffer until you get a type 5 
keyboard. when obp detects that there is no keyboard, it sets the default 
input/output to ttya (your terminal). you may be able to set the obp 
variables default-output to screen and default-input to ttya and in that way 
may be able to use the monitor and the terminal keyboard.
