You can also install UltraPenguin using a serial terminal attached to your SPARC system. Any terminal which can emulate a VT100 (or a computer with terminal emulation software) will work fine. Boot as you would normally, and at the SILO- prompt enter:
linux serial
The installation program runs on the first serial port at 9600 baud,
8 bits, no parity, 1 stop bit (often called 9600,8,N,1
). The
installation program can run in color, if your serial terminal supports
color. Note that a computer running kermit and connected to your SPARC
system will display in color.
At any prompt dialog during a serial installation (any dialog with an
OK
button), you can press [Ctrl]
-[Z]
to start a
subshell. To return to the installation program, enter exit
at
the shell prompt.
When the installation is complete, simply boot normally, and UltraPenguin should come up on your serial terminal.
