how to set the system console at boot time

[LEY Serge]

Hello,

I have a B180L HP Workstation under HPUX 10.2.
I have a graphic display.
I try to change the system console to an ascii terminal connected on serial 1, by using ISL and conspath 8/0/63 (result from ioscan for tty). Now I have no console. How can I get my ascii console ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Try the following:

stop booting and from the main menu:

I tried this on series 800 not series 700,
but think should work, because this depands on the firmware.

Thanks to your response. But how can I stop booting, I lost the console at boot time, so I see no menu.

Hi again,

I do not know the way how to change console path in software way, where the system is normally running.
But I remember, just a weak idea, that in old models of series 700 there was a hardware switch to change console path, and remember that it was one way trick.

Hope it helps a little.

Rgds.

Power down the staion, disconnect the keyboard, connect the terminal
with its attached keyboard and power up.

This should set the boot console to the terminal.
