Locked up and then, "Welcome Powering up..." out of the blue

[marct]

I am stuck at a welcome powering up screen, Searching fails me, so I am hoping I can get an easy answer. Did my drive go?

If the drive is unhacked, then more than likely it is going.

The drive is Zippered, does that mean I have more options?

It does if you have a serial cable.

I can make just about any cable in the world. I may not have the connector with me at the moment.

Serial to phone line? I think I recall readding at that other place about a cable. Is that where I go to figure out how to make it?

Looks like the diagram that has the pinout is missing.

I am getting web sensed at work, but I would like to make this cable tonight as I have the parts and am visiting a friend with the tools to put it togehter tonight. Is there somewhere else that I can find the pinout?

OK, cable is made, I am guessing I open a terminal window with it connected. Where do I look for more information on what to do from there???
