Hi,
I recently got a hold of an old DECstation 3000/300LX, and decided to=20
install NetBSd on it as soon as I discovered Linux wouldn't boot on it. The=
=20
thing is, I haven't got a monitor or keyboard for it, so I'm trying to=20
install it via a serial console. Here's what happens (starts in SRM, output=
=20
via serial console):

That's it, nothing more happens. There is some disk activity after this,=20
which may indicate that it does actually boot, but it doesn't use the=20
serial console. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
