This errors are caused with a not supported graphics card, i have the =20
same problem with a enterprise 450.

Yes, you can boot whit serial console, it's simple, disconect your =20
keyboard and monitor on your SUN, and connect a serial cable to other =20
machine, the Sun hardware when not detecting keyboard or video, it =20
uses by defect the serial port to have control on the machine, in the =20
other machine you need run a minicom or if you use Windos, =20
hyperterminal.
