Hi again group,
I thought I posted this yesterday but I never saw it hit the list (maybe fat-fingered something) so here goes again...
I have a new (well, new to me) RS6000 B50 which I am trying to install AIX 5.3 from CDROM. The install seems to go OK (slow, but OK) but I am never prompted to enter a root password, a user account or any network configuration.
When the install is complete the system reboots and I get a "Console Login:" prompt. If I type "root" I get a new "Login:" prompt. If I retype "root" it goes back to the "Console Login:" prompt.
I have installed using a Windows XP Hyper Terminal since the B50 has no VGA card or other video connection.
Can anyone give a clue as to what I am missing (or did wrong)?
Thanks.
