Two 386 Unix PC questions:

[C. Gray Watson]

Hi:
	We are setting up a 32 machine distributed database system on AT&T
386 Unix workstations.  They seem, so far, to be very quick robust machines.
I will post some performance details about the machine type when we have our
system operational and our benchmarks done.

My questions are these:

1)	We are stacking the machines 3 high and 10 wide.  We are trying to find
a way to enable the computers to boot up without a keyboard; i.e.  diable the
automatic keyboard check at boot time.  Does anyone have information of a
successful solution (or attempts) to this problem?  We have thought about
repressing the ROM to bypass the check or to make it more intelligent, and we
have discussed building some chip in a box to simulate a keyboard.  It doesn't
matter if it is UNIX or DOS and I think the keyboard check is much like the one
for the 6300 so ANY and ALL info along this line would be appreciated.

2)	We have the tower upright version of the 386 workstation.  I have been
told that the console-unit's display is addressable by AT&T reps.  Does anyone
have the address and proceedures for displaying messages on the display??

Thanks very much,
