RE: ultra1 creator system freeze after terminal detach
Let me get this straight, you start up the Ultra1 through the serial line,
then you disconnect the serial line from the machine? Meaning you
physically remove the cable? If so, then that's your problem, when removing
the cable, you're sending enough noise through the chip to cause a break
signal to be sent. Thus causing your problem.
The solution? Set up the ultra1 to boot automatically, that way you don't
need to connect through the serial port, then just connect through the
network to it. This is the way I set up my machines, and they run just
fine!

Subject: ultra1 creator system freeze after terminal detach
hello,
i used a windows box with hyper terminal to connect to my sun
workstation via seriel connection (rs232). after finnished the install
process i detached the serial connection; reason was a total system
freeze of my box. if i restart the connection (from hyper terminal to
sun box) i can use 'go' to reactivate the whole box and everything works
fine.
its a sun ultra1 creator, more infos below:
