I need help trying to get a Sparc LX unit to run a serial terminal off of
what I believe to be /dev/ttyS0 however I am not really familiar with
how sparc architecture is laid out.

I want all text that would normally go to the monitor to go out to the
serial port. I have done this a few times on x86 machines using "console"
paramterers in the lilo.conf file, as well as the agetty/mgetty program
to allow serial console based logins however the silo boot loader doesn;t
seem to run with the same commands. and I am unable to find agetty for
the Sparc architecture. Mgetty for the sparc doesn't appear to want to open
the serial port.

Please give me any information on this as I am at a loss on how to proceed.
thanks in advance
