Correct, uart(4) assumes ttya in case the keyboard is not plugged
in but that's also what OFW does on all boxes I've seen so far. IIRC
this is also documented somewhere in the OFW or Sun specs.
David, could you please hook up a monitor to the Blade 100? OFW
displays a message on the screen where it switches the console to
in case input-device=keyboard and output-device=screen but no
keyboard is plugged in.
Could you _please_ also test if uart(4) works as serial console
if you set both input-device and output-device to ttya?
