[TriLUG] Pre-installation on Sun Ultra 2

[Reginald Reed]

When you had a Sun keyboard attached, did the machine beep (kind of a
long beep)?  Did the lights on the keyboard flash at all?

If neither of these things happened, I'd check to make sure the CPU,
memory and any socketed chips are well seated.
