Indeed. I mean, even the user interface is screwed up. Whoever thought
that "start /SYS" and "start /SP/console" (case sensitive commands no
less!) were better than "poweron" and "console -f" respectively needs
their heads examining! The ILOM guys should have taken the lead from
the ALOM guys, IMHO. Oh, and being able to change the ILOM prompt
would be nice, too!
