Console Modification

The console appears, by default, on the first head of the first
board in the system’s probe list. You can change the console with
the pci-probe-list environment variable. If you want to change the
console without altering the probe list, change the output-device
environment variable instead.

You can use the setenv command to change environment variables.

To use the setenv command

1 Power on or halt the system to get to the

ok>

prompt.

2 Type:

setenv output-device

These examples describe how to change the console in Ultra™ 10
and Ultra 30 systems. For more details, refer to your Sun
documentation.

3 To make the DX2 board the console in an Ultra 10 system, type:

setenv output-device /pci/DOME,Dx2PCI

For an Ultra 30 system, which has two PCI buses, type:

setenv output-device /pci@

X/DOME,Dx2PCI

where X depends on the location of the board.

For example, if the board is installed in the PCI66 slot,
which is at location 1f,2000, type:
setenv output-device /pci@1f,2000/DOME,Dx2PCI

4 Reset the system.

WARNING – Setenv command

The device node portion of the setenv command differs for different
Sun systems and board locations.
