Setting console to 38400,8,n,1 on Sun Blade 1500 with Solaris 10:

Change console speed using the eeprom cmd to set it in OBP:
$ eeprom ttya-mode=38400,8,n,1,-

Set the ttymon console baud rate:
$ vi /etc/ttydefs
console:38400 hupcl opost onlcr:38400::console

Replace the entry in /kernel/drv/options.conf with the following:
# 38400 :be:
ttymodes="2502:1805:be:8a3b:3:1c:7f:15:4:0:0:0:11:13:1a:19:12:f:
17:16";

NOTE: The POST output will be illegible.

how are you viewing the console? attached keyboard and monitor? serial
port? if serial port, I'd say make sure your terminal em is also set to
38400,8,n,1

Please, what's one's terminal "em"?

Thanks,

I think Martha abbreviated the word "emulator". Make sure the
terminal emulator you're using to view the output of the other
machine's console is set to 38400 bps, 8 data bits, no parity,
and 1 stop bit.
