Default Netra X1 & console break interrupt

Hi,

At my place of work we have a Netra X1 that is hooked up to a Sun Ultra 10
via a null-modem cable (the U10 is being used as a console for the Netra).
Due to cabling issues we are using Serial port A on the U10 rather than port
B as would be the default port, however this seems to work fine when using ;

# tip /dev/term/a -9600

The /etc/default/kbd file on the Netra X1 has been editted and the
KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable uncommented (i.e. we don't want the Netra to drop to
OBP prompt when shutting down the U10, or pulling the cable). Despite these
precautions the Netra seems to drop to the OBP prompt if any of the previous
events take place. Is there something above and beyond that needs to be done
for this machine to prevent it from freezing when getting an interrupt? Is
this something to do with LOM?

BTW - both machines are running Solaris 8 09/01 and are patched to kernel
patch108528-16.

Thanks and regards,
Andrew
