tlug: Sun keyboard questions

["Jonathan Byrne" <jpmag@example.com>]

Does anybody know the correct key combination to use on a Sparc with a
keyboard adapter interface to get it to dump me at the PROM prompt
instead of booting SILO?  This would be L1-a on a Sun keyboard, I'm
told, and is supposedly F1-a-something with a PC keyboard.  However, no
combination I've tried works.  Can anybody help?  The keyboard adapter
reports itself as a type 4 keyboard, if that matters.

Second, does anybody have a type 5 Japanese keyboard they would like to
sell? :-)

Third (off of the keyboard question), my latest plan to get Red Hat 5.1
into my 4c architecture machine involves popping my hard disk into a 4m
machine, using that machine to install 5.1 on my disk, then replacing
the Red Hat kernel with Chris Sekiya's kernel compiled under gcc, which
will work on a 4c, so that I can actually boot it.  Would anyone out
there who is lucky enough to have a 4m machine like to volunteer to help
me out with this little scheme?  :-)

TIA,

Jonathan
