that "unknown, i need somhething more specific"is the EXACT error that 
the Sparc gives me!
I got it to the point that the console is initialized in the serial 
port, and I an login, however
I get a lot of those errors, as listed above, and I am unable to use vi 
correctly.

To elaborate:

when I hit the Up arrow on the terminal (this is both a Wyse RS-232 
terminal, and a laptop
running minicom, etc.. )I get the previous command, one line above the 
same line where I'd
 expect it to me. Ex:

if the last command was "fetchmail:"

Expected:
[root@localhost /root:#] fetchmail

received:
                                        fetchmail
[root@localhost /root:#]

Same thing in Vi, etc..

Hope this helps?
