[echo]

i have the octane2 now, but the monitor/screen i ordered hasn't been shipped yet.
i am running it with just a usb to serial nullmodem cable. [no screen/mouse/keyboard, nothing else attached]
is there any guide on using the serial/terminal mode? or the system maintenance menu?

i used diagnostics, and at the prompt after it finished ran hinv from the ide> prompt.
it gave some basic hardware info but didn't tell me what kind of vpro i have.
it seems to be a dual 300mhz cpu, was that ever an option for octane2's? did someone replace the original cpu?

apparently there is an os installed. but when i tried booting the system it got to an error and froze, stopped responding to commands.

i also tried going into command monitor and typed single, but it wont let me boot that way because i don't know the root password.
