Setting up for a serial console
==============

Setting up a serial console on the HP9000/380 is extremely easy.
Regardless of whether or not a keyboard and/or display board is
installed in the system, the following method will work.

o	Connect the HP's CPU board serial to a terminal or another 
	computer's serial port.  Connecting the serial line to a PC 
	compatible machine normally requires a Null-MODEM converter 
	or cable.

o	Set communications on the "terminal" end to 9600/8/1.

o	Power up the HP.

o	Once you hear the initial two beeps (about 5-6 seconds
	after power-up), press RETURN a few times.  The HP's
	BOOT ROM will automatically switch to serial-console
	mode.

It's that simple.  It wasn't clear to me from FAQ information read
elsewhere that simply pressing RETURN on the *SERIAL* line would
cause this to happen.
