My Sparcstation 4/330 has a bank of ten (or so) red leds in a row. These
light in varios patterns to indicate which self test is being conducted at
power on. After this, the leds 'race' back and forth faster or slower
depending on the CPU load. Unfortunately, this cool load meter doesn't work
in netbsd or openbsd, only in Solaris.
My Vaxstation 4000/60 has an 8 (or so) red led that also posts codes at
power on but nothing else in either vms or in netbsd.
I recompiled the netbsd 1.5.2 kernel to enable the led on the Sparc.....and
nothing still.
Why on earth would Sun put a cool set of leds UNDERNEATH the cover? I mean,
you might as well put it out there.
Regards,
Jeff
