3.5.1.3 Sun Blade 1000, Sun Blade 2000, Ultra 80, E250, and

E450

If no other framebuffers are present in a Sun Blade 1000, Sun
Blade 2000, Ultra 80, E250, or E450 then the Raptor will be the
console by default, provided the board is in a valid probed PCI
slot.

3.5.2 Raptor with a Secondary Framebuffer







The Raptor can be made the console device when other
secondary framebuffers are present in the system.

To configure the Raptor card as the console when UPA
framebuffers are in the system, the

output-device

variable in

NVRAM must be changed to the actual path of the desired
Raptor cards. This path can best be determined by searching for
the string

TSI

in the

/

tree at the

ok

prompt.


To find the PCI devices, at the

ok

prompt, type the following:

ok show-devs


You should see at least one entry containing the string

TSI

. For

example,

TSI,rapdlr@#

, where

#

will be a digit representing

your Raptor’s PCI number.

Use this entry as the console device for your desired Raptor.
For example, if the path is

/pci@1f,4000

to the device

TSI,rapdlr@#

, then type the following command:





NOTE: Replace

#

with the digit representing your Raptor’s PCI

slot number.

NOTE: This section does not apply to Sun Blade machines.
The information in Section 3.5.1.1 applies to all Sun Blades
with multiple framebuffers.
