====== Sun ======

This is my area for Sun related stuff - primarily for my Sun SPARC-II Ultra 80 wooo hooo

quick notes:

For PC Keyboard with adapter box:

<tab><key>break-a</key> - gets you into the OBP boot area

For Sun Keyboard

<tab><key>'Stop'-a</key> (standard)\\ 
<tab><key>'Stop'-n</key> (resets OBP settings?)

To connect from linux to a sun serial console:

<code bash>
# screen /dev/ttyUSB0 9600
</code>

where ''/dev/ttyUSB0'' is the serial port on your linux box that you are connecting from
