Hi, this may sound funny but here goes...

I needed to attach a monitor and keyboard to my E220R to configure it (couldn't configure it remotely). Now that I have it configured, I want to remove my keyboard but every time I remove my keyboard, I'm kick out onto the boot prom. I do not want to go to the boot prom. I just want the system to use ttya or ttyb for input or output. Yes, I did setenv input-device ttya and setenv output-device ttya but still no luck.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
 
Hi,

Put the server into "secure" mode at the key and you should be able to disconnect the keyboard without bother.

To disable keyboard or serial device abort sequences, uncomment the line containing KEYBOARD_ABORT=disable in the /etc/default/kbd file.
