When the SPARC sees a &quot;break&quot; on the line, it enters the PROM. &nbsp;<br />
The PC always (effectively) &quot;sends&quot; a break at boot time. &nbsp;<br />
Unless you can configure the Sparc to ignore serial breaks, you're out of luck. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
You're better off using a real terminal as the Sparc's console. &nbsp;You could always connect the PC to the other serial port; in that case rebooting the PC will not make the SPARC enter the PROM monitor.<br />

Hi....<br />
I'm connecting to a Sparc2 from com2 on my PC (Null Modem). The problem is that when I restart my PC, I log back onto the Sparc but it is always at the prom level. Why is this? &amp;&nbsp;How do I stop the stop-a? The settings are.......<br />

Unix is a multitasking, multi-user computer operating system originally developed in 1969 at Bell Labs. Today, it is a modern OS with many commercial flavors and licensees, including FreeBSD, Hewlett-Packard’s UX, IBM AIX and Apple Mac OS-X. Apart from its command-line interface, most UNIX variations support the standardized X Window System for GUIs, with the exception of the Mac OS, which uses a proprietary system.
