Re: System i5 first boot

Twinax may not be as good in one's opinion, but I would be hard pressed to
think of something more reliable. HMC is certainly more flexible, Ops
Console is a PITA (IMO) and I've never had the bad luck to work with LAN
Console.

And Aaron is the one on the cabling quest - I'm lucky enough to work on
systems that provide a green screen. :)

Twinax works, but not as good, or reliable, as other solutions.

But we're getting off on a tangent here.  Michael, where are you in here?

So you're trying to use Operations Console I assume. Right?

And I agree with Joe...you could save yourself a lot of pain by getting a
twinax device. But...that's so 80's...of course, it works.
