How to get the Livingston PortMaster 2e/10 to forget the flash memory
of its configuration and discover it at boot time:

  o Connector edge of card is 'up'

  o jumper
    - U19 upper right pin
    - U24 second pin from bottom on right side

  o net boot (RARP, tftp, and all that stuff) switch-1-[12] up

  o it should be willing to talk to you on S0 at 9600

  o you can remove the jumper now

  o login as root without password as it has forgotten everything

  o clear the config flas
    PortMaster Console login: !root
