I've set up limekiller (aka "sipbv6") with a serial console, plugged
into tty01 on charon2. Appropriate comments have been put in
/etc/motd on both systems, and the console cable has been cable-tied
to the rack. The cable is your basic null modem (swap rx/tx, swap
dsr/dtr, swap rts/cts).
Eventually I'll want to set it up so there's a kermit running inside a
sharable "screen" in daemon mode, so you can see recent console output
when you connect to the console, but all in the fullness of time..
The video is still plugged in to the console switcher (though it
doesn't need to be any more); the keyboard connection from the
switcher is unplugged (this is the Clue that the PROM needs to know
that it should use serial A as the console; this means we can leave in
the framebuffer card in case we need to hook it directly to a monitor
in the future).
It's got a scrounged 4gig external disk for build space.
remote access:
limekiller is currently running a fairly stock sshd; its root password
is the same as charon's. i'm still the process of doing a build to
bring it up to -current; once that completes I'll look into making it
accessable via kerberos rlogin/telnet.
If you need to make changes to the system for some reason, please
notify sipbv6 and put a note in the motd..
