YES!!!  :)  I just found a similar problem with this on my SS20.  I believe
that you need to use "set-default bootfile" and that will clear it.  :)

None of the serial ports on Suns are all that good.  I think you might be
able to run it at 38400 bps, but I don't know how the performance will be.
I hear that some of the new Ultras have REAL serial ports on par with the
serial ports on my IBM PS/2 model 30.  :)
