Well...i have the install43.iso cd. I don't think choosing the media is my problem. What's the quickest way to see a OpenPROM ok prompt on a foreign machine? What commands do I use (e.g., cu, tip, etc.)? If I can get an "ok" prompt, I'm golden. As of now, I just a white screen come saying "keyboard not detecting, using /dev/ttya for input and output". Then the screen goes blank because I assume Solaris goes to a really high resolution that my monitor can't handle. If the keyboard (and monitor?) isn't plugged in, it goes straight to serial. But I know serial output comes after even after I boot up the machine. It's just that all I see is "Connected" in my openbsd terminal. I even looked at this website for help: http://slashboot.org/articles/8/Building_a_Sparc64_server_with_OpenBSD_3.8.html
