Hello-
This is my first time on this list so if I'm in the wrong
place for these questions just let me know and I'll kindly
leave.
I am "trying" to turn up netBSD on my StarMax 3000/180.
I tried to follow the Getting to the Open Firmware Prompt
(Harder method using MacOS)
Basically I used Bootvars under macOS.
I unchecked the AutoBoot and checked All variables
Then I put kbd in for the input-device and for the output
device I put /ATY,264VT@11
I clicked Write and then rebooted. Now I get no video
sync. I assume Open firmware comes up right away?
I see something about swaping ide cables, but shouldn't I
at least get a prompt?
since I took ttya off out of the bootvars its probably not
coming out of the serial port is it. ????
Any suggestions? Have I fatally messed up my machine?
Thanks in advance
