RE: SRM BLANK SCREEN

["Benton, Marco" <BENTONM polaroid com>]

after you get to the SRM then you can "set console graphics"..  then do an
"init" to save, or "boot" if you have something installed.

old DEC'ies like me always have a vt100 or a DECconnect cable and connector
hanging around for these purposes.  ;-)

QVT or TeraTerm works well with VT52/100 emulation.

Thank you very much to all, i'm going to try with VT100 emulator but at
this moment i dont own a serial cable female-female. If I have more
problems I'll write you.

One more question the first time I restart I can write "set terminal
graphics", and sytem returns "enviromental variable created", can I save
this value and restart like from serial terminal?

Thank you very much

If you lack a vt100 you could use a pc, a serial cable,  and a terminal
emulater.
