Re: Stuck at Calender button during install

Hi,

first of all, you will need a serial cable, the cradle won't work, because you 
will need to reset *AND* be connected at the same time...

Then, depending on whether you are using GNU/Linux, 'terminal' or 'serial 
console' refers to minicom, you will need to install it first on your 
workstation (along with rzsz) and configure it properly.

Hint:  Quite exhaustive doc can be found at http://www.handhelds.org/
handhelds-faq/getting-started.html#USING-XYZMODEM

Once you reset, hit the calendar button on the bootloader screen, then launch 
minicom, it should give you the boot> prompt.

IPaq 3970 / Bootloader Rev 2.21.12 / GPE 2

P.S.: according to msgs earlier today on this list, it should be possible to 
avoid minicom entirely.
