I'm assuming that this is a "double bulk" device. One the i386 install, I'm not able to register the device with the normal usb kernel modules. The idea is to use it as a serial connection and to watch the install process on the i386. The data display cable is still messed up and I do not know how to switch the video output to the vga connection with the openfirmware forth prompt. So...... I need help with the above processes. If the video output can be routed to the vga output, then using the usb cable may not be necessary. The other problem is that the DVD drive is grinding and has rejected every disk inserted. I'm not sure if the usb boot is available on it. Since I am also not the original owner nor the second owner, updating firmware has become a futile effort- don't know the root password. Any suggestions to solving this. Thanks.
