I have botched an upgrade to OpenBSD 4.2.
As it happens, I need to use my service menu to fix things.

I noticed when I bought this c3000 off of eBay that if I did not hold down D+B on powering up that this menu appears. It is totally unresponsive at this 1-4 menu in Japanese. I mean, no key works. I cannot select 1 2 3 or 4. I assume this is not normal as I read that at this menu you must select a number. But at that point I cannot do anything but reboot by taking out the battery and unplugging then replugging. Has anyone experienced this? All replys are welcome. I am bricked :-(
I miss my Zaurus a lot. Please help. sad.gif

I am trying to do the fn+d+m method.

Here is what I did.
Try #1
1) flipped battery switch to unlocked position
2) removed battery cover and battery
3)unplugged Unit
4) held down fn+d+m
5) plugged unit back in
Results: Nothing happened

Try #2
same as try number one, except that I tried pressing the power button after step 5
Results: Nothing happened


Try #3
1) flipped battery switch to unlocked position
2) removed battery cover and battery
3a)unplugged Unit
3b)flipped battery cover switch back to locked position
4) held down fn+d+m
5) plugged unit back in
Results: after plugging unit back in the yellow charger led was blinking. Otherwise nothing happened

Try #4
same as try #3, except that I tried pressing the power button after step 5

Try #5
1) flipped battery switch to unlocked position
2) removed battery cover and battery
3a)unplugged Unit
4a) held down fn+d+m
4b)replaced battery,cover and switch to locked position
5) plugged unit back in
Results: after plugging unit back in the yellow charger led was on steady. I waited while holding fn+d+m,nothing happened. So,while still holding the keys I pressed the power button.
The screen came on for the first time since trying this method. I waited still holding the keys. After the sharp splash screen, and a visible blinking cursor at the bottom of the screen, The screen went to black color and resd:

probing cn0 com0 com1 com2
disk: hd0
>> OpoenBSD/zaurus BOOT 2.08
open(hd0a://etc/boot.conf): can't read disk label
boot>
booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: can't read disk label
failed(93). will try /bsd
boot>
booting hd0a:/bsd: open hd0a:/bsd: can't read disk label
failed(93). will try /bsd
turning timeout off.
boot> *flashing cursor*


Am I missing something? Did I perform this operation correctly?

try repeating number 1 but don't press the fn button. just pull out the battery, press&hold D+M, wait for a few seconds and then reinsert the battery, the menu should come right up. i think that FN + D + M combination is only needed if you have uboot installed.
