[SunHELP] booting a Enterprise 3500

[Edward Chase]

Video problem solved.  Solution, use correct type of serial cable.  I 
grabbed a straight through modem cable, we found out that you need a null 
modem pinout.

I did say that this was the first time that I had to work with a Sun box 
that did not have a video card in it.

Thanks for all the help.
