Paul remember that he had the same problem. As the system boots, it
loads a Generic Console driver, on multiuser we have a vt100 emulation,
with a stupid 1024 columns x 1024 rows setup (if you forget to correct
this settings and try to use for example, vi, youŽll get 1024 rows
scrolling on your screen). Unfortunately, he doesnŽt remember how he
fixed it.
According to Mark, the solution is to run ISACFG on the firmware prompt,
all we have to know is the right parameters.
We are going on that way.
I hope to give you the exact answer on the next message. If you have any
additional hints, they are welcome.
