-<p> |

-If you lack an appropriate Framebuffer, you will be required to use serial |
| 90 |
-console. Serial console programs for linux include <c>minicom</c> and |
| 91 |
-<c>xc</c>, and for Windows, <c>HyperTerminal</c> and <c>Tera Term Pro</c>. If |
| 92 |
-you are running Windows, and intend to use HyperTerminal, it is advised that |
| 93 |
-you seek out an updated client from the program's website instead of the one |
| 94 |
-installed by default. An upgraded client provides much better serial support |
| 95 |
-than the default one installed by Windows. |

- The O2 RM7000 Processor support is limited in Linux currently, as it |
| 192 |
- requires a fairly recent kernel version (>2.6.7), and has several |
| 193 |
- notable issues. The first issue is a problem with SCSI at the moment, |
| 194 |
- making the internal disks unusable at the current time. The Level 3 |
| 195 |
- (Tertiary) Cache is also disabled due to there being no support for |
| 196 |
- this cache in the linux kernel. |

- Please be aware that this note only applies to the official SGI RM7000 |

- running at 350MHz, not the 600MHz RM7000 that can be assembled using an |
