you can specify input and output devices as obp envinronment variables.
try setting input-device to ttya and output-device to screen from a serial
terminal once and see what happens. once thet kernel loads, console control
is handled the ttymon daemon, so you probably won't have much luck.
you can buy a sun keyboard from gstek.com or most other parts vendors.
