Sorry if this was covered before, but I can't find the exact instructions
before.
I don't know how to do a break from the machine (equivilent of a stop+A) on
boot.

I've got a V880, it doesn't have a USB keyboard, and I'm using the remote
console for admin.
It has a terminal attached, and I want to be able to stop+A on boot so it
will send control back to the local terminal.

I think you wait until you hear beeps from the machine at boot time, (but
not the first lot !) and then hit the power button. (once?)
This will give you an OK> prompt on the local console (terminal) instead of
the remote.

Can anyone clear my confusion up for me,

Thanks,

You will need to send it a "break" signal. Exactly how you do this will
depend on the "remote console" you're using - check the manual for details
on how to do it.

Wait until it displays the banner message on the screen, then send a break.

Not sure if this would help, but this website talks about disable BREAKS.

Maybe you would find something you can use here.
