Re: System i5 first boot

[Pete Helgren <Pete@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Aaron,

Something ain't right!  In an earlier post there seemed to be some 
confusion about what console was shipped with your i5.  Concentrate on 
getting the console configured first.  If you have the console 
configured correctly the thing should just boot and then you can sign 
on.  As  Yan says on "Yan can cook".....it SO simple.

Problem seems to be with console.  I prefer the twinax version since it 
is bullet proof (at least to this geezer).   Cable the thing up, set the 
address switches to 0,0 and then throw the big switch!

What is the console type you were using?
