Use indigo2 headless and console via serial port 1

RE: Use indigo2 headless and console via serial port 1
It should just work that way if you remove the monitor 13w3 signal cable (last I did this). If you have default NVRAM values you MAY need to also disconnect both PS/2 mouse and keyboard as well. But I’ve installed Irix and logged into it with a serial terminal on an Indigo2 about 3 years ago.

Just try it. Have terminal powered and connected before Indigo2 power-on. Disconnect all keyboard/mice/monitor cable from backend of computer and presto! In my case I don’t think I had the peripherals disconnected to see serial output but YMMV.

There is a graphics env variable you can set to force console, but you shouldn’t have to do that.


Let us know.
