FW: [SunHELP] disabling serial console

The a/b serial port is actually serial port A and B 
but there is no parrallel port there, I found the pinout
on sunsolve in the free info docs (Document ID 21148).
They say its the pinout for an Enterprise 450 but I build a db25
connector with 2 rj-45 jack to split it, it works great

thanks to Jeremy RJ Towers for the pointer

This is actually 2 serial ports wired to 1 connector, you need an
adapter cable that plugs in to the DB25 port and splits to 2 physical
connectors for 'A' & 'B' ports. (I think it may also have a parallel
port integrated in it to, I will have to look at the cable on my SS10
to check)
