Thanks - another gem of Sun knowledge I didn't have :)

Is that like a 'Stop-A' command? Can I press that to enter a LOW  
terminal, then an exit command to get out again?

Just want to be clear :)

Slight side-note of craponess that might hold up testing this theory a  
bit is that when I powered it up the serial terminal didn't drop in on  
ttya after the LOW cut out, from (bad, very dusty) memory this is  
because I set it to ttyb, but I got zilch from the other serial port :(

Is there any way to do a factory reset of the OpenBoot env vars from  
the LOM console or on the hardware? It'll be a bugger-sight easier to  
do this if I actually know what the hells going on - it's over a year  
since I last used it so I have zero idea wth I did.
