{ ps  anyone know how to get a sparc-5 to switch from using a serial console

{     connect to it?

   use eeprom command

   eeprom input-device=keyboard
   eeprom output-device=screen

   may need to reboot though, since the eeprom manages the obp stuff..

   can do this from the obp prompt as well.
