I completed the installation of AIX 5.3 on my new PPC6 system. After the reboot and accepting the licensing, etc. the system seems to boot and in proper state. However, I am unable to access my serial port (S1) as the system does not return the "login:" prompt. I have not setup the network for the ethernet as I'm wanting to confirm the AIX installation.
Any assistance as how I can access my serial port (main console, and properly selected when asked by AIX) is greatly appreciated. Below is the output of my system. I searched the web for a solution but I'm not coming up with anything helpful.
