You have to boot your machine using -r option. OK> boot -r Use 'ifconfig -a' to show all network interfaces. Look at ifconfig man page to understand how to set up the network interface. #man ifconfig If you don't use specific video controler driver, try to configure the VGA adapter using standard SUN Solaris driver: #/usr/sbin/m64config –dev /dev/fbs/m640 –res [????x???] –depth [??] To print possible and current values type: #/usr/sbin/m64config –dev /dev/fbs/m640 –res \? My experience is about Sun SPARC and I am not sure if it will works on x86 platform. Good luck ;)
