well ...
I have a linux box to boot from, currently it's acting as a firewall.
As about a terminal I've got NCD 19r one, but as I understand I'll
need to use tftp to boot it into something, so I can't connect it
directly into the SS2.
My only confusion is that, I have no idea how to boot the SS2, when I
power it on, hard drive does something, AUI converter is flashing, so
I assume something is going on. But I have no clue how to get some
video output from it. null-modem connection from serial A?
or there is some chance of using NCD terminal, w/o booting it?
thanks a lot.
val.
