I'm getting close to actually getting my 2/50 up and running.  However,
whenever I turn it on (before it actually searches the bus for a boot
device), I get the following message (among all the standard messages):

        "Using RS232A Input"

I also can't initially get the monitor's attention using (L1-a) without
unplugging the keyboard and plugging it back in (honest, this works!).

Does this mean that my 2/50 is jumpered to initially ignore the keyboard
as a console?  (Remember, this is a 2/50 desktop machine, not a floor
model.) If so, does anyone know which jumper I can change to make things
work "right" initially?  In genereal, if anyone has a listing of the
jumper on the 2/50's CPU board and what they mean, I'd really appreciate a
copy.
