Thank you both Scott & Jochen for your answers.

I am hoping the following is my last question.  The U10 Service Manual:

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/805-7764-12

...indicates that output from a headless system can be captured on the
serial port, 9600, 8N1.  Yet when I connect a 25-pin serial cable to
serial port A or a 9-pin serial cable to serial port B, I'm not seeing
output.  I was under the impression if no keyboard or monitor was
plugged in at boot, co nsole output would be sent to the serial port.
Is there something else I'm missing?

Thank you again for any clarification.

Jim
