issue after swapping XVR-100 to XVR-1200 graphics accelorator


I've got a Sun Microsystems SunBlade 2500 (silver) with dual 1.6 GHZ UltraSPARC IIi cpu's 8gb ram, and SCSI hard-drive. I had a XVR-100 graphics card in it (really an ATI Radeon) which was REALLY SLOW on my Sun Microsystems 20.1 LCD display. So I went up to ebay, got myself an XVR-1200 and swapped the cards out. Hooked everything back up and I get as far as where OpenBoot is about to jump over to the log in screen and it just hangs. I know I'm doing something wrong but I don't know what. I'm running Solaris 10 via ZFS in case that helps. I would hate to have to reinstall Solaris but if it's what I've got to do ...

Did you boot with a "-r" after you installed the new card?
