(I _did_ look in the latest FAQ before I posted this...)

Does anyone know if a cube can be run without a monitor? I 
saw a note about setting the prom options to allow ttya as
the alternate console. I have already setup a terminal on
ttya and I can login and so on, my question is: Can you
power up and power down the computer using the alternate
console or do you need the monitor to bring up the system?
If the monitor is required to bring up the system, can you
fake out the cube by shorting out the power switch pins with
a 1 k resistor or something like that?

It would be nice if the system would monitor DSR on ttya if there
was no monitor connected. If DSR is up, then power up the system,
if DSR is down, power down the system.

Thanks in advance...
