Greetings

I have the following problem:

I was installing from zero a Netra t1 105 server. It had SunOs 5.8 
preinstalled and I have no CD-Rom on it.
I also have a PC with Win2k and Linux. In both systems I have terminal 
emulators (HyperTerminal PE, TeraTerm PRO,

Everytime I boot the netra It freezes and the output is as follows:

>*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*->Netra 
>t1 (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard
>OpenBoot 3.10.25 ME, 320 MB memory installed, Serial #12762194.

>INIT: SINGLE USER MODE

>Type control-d to proceed with normal startup,
>(or give root password for system maintenance):
>*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-

The thing is that I can't press control-d on my terminal emulators. 
Everything seems that I can't type anything.

But if I send a <BREAK> signal from the terminal I get the lom> prompt and I 
can enter lom commands.

Is there a way to fix this?

I'm conecting the PC with a RJ45 <-> DB9 pin cable. I don't know if there is 
something wrong on the setup of the terminal emulators.

What can I do?

Thanks.
