  Hello folks,

  I have a diskless 9000/340 8M served by a 9000/370 running HPUX 7.0
  (Maybe 7.03).  For reasons I will not attemp to explain, the video
  board (Monochrome) for the 340 has been pulled out of the 340 and
  replaced with an animation controler.  Than animation controler is 
  not able to act as a console.  I can currently get the 340 to boot
  but it only stays up for about 5 minutes then it crashes.  I would
  like to find out why it is crashing.  Is there any way to get the
  the 340 to think that a terminal hooked to it serial port is it's
  console?

  So the real problem is, can I make the 340 boot with a console 
  that is hooked to a tty?

  Thanks,
  Curt
