[rescue] IBM RS/6000 7011 model 250 - Console

[rescue at sunhelp.org]

No AIX media to boot from, I inherited them with no media CD or
otherwise and no docs and they are supposed to already be installed with
AIX 3.?.  I just need the console/serial pin outs to see if it actually
boots.

Have you tried booting from cdrom?  Mine seemed to boot Aix 4.3.3
media just fine from an external Sun/Toshiba 1x cdrom drive.
