I'm getting closer! When I see the splash screen, I hit TAB and saw the
following Award BIOS startup screen:
Award Modular BIOS V4.51PG
Copyright (C) 1984-99, Award Software, Inc.
(IPS_TRI) EVALUATION ROM - NOT FOR SALE
IDT WinChip C6 CPU at 200MHz

Suggested SDRAM CAS Latency Time is " 2 "

Your i-opener is undergoing a necessary update. This may
take 30 minutes or more. If for some reason the service
is not working correctly within an hour, please contact
Technical Support at 1-800-298-9525 to report the problem.
Press DEL to enter SETUP

When I hit CTRL-ALT-HOME, I get a "login:" prompt. The HOME,4 combo doesn't
get me a root prompt.
So close, and yet so far!! :-)

Has anyone else seen this? The only thing I get
when I power up my
iOpener
is a screen that says "Welcome! i-opener
Out of the box. In the
outlets. On
the counter. Nothin' but 'Net!"
Nothing else. No other screens, or
startup
messages. Control-alt-home, or home-4 do nothing.
Press TAB as soon as you see this screen. It will switch to text mode
and give you the usual Award BIOS startup screen. It will say press Del
for setup, that's wrong, you need Ctrl/Alt/Esc, so you'll need to put on a
keyboard that has an Esc key.
