I only confirmed this with Sun Ultra 5/10 workstations but I'm sure that in some form or another it's true for all Sun workstations and servers.
If, during boot up, a Sun workstation or server does not detect an input device such as a keyboard or mouse, the console will be redirected to COM 1. This is helpful when trying to install Solaris from scratch on a headless server.
A null modem cable and terminal emulation software such as putty is also needed.
