OpenSolaris on Sparc~Installation Issue


I have just installed OpenSolaris on my Sparc using Caimen Ver 134
It installs OK (eventually), but then on reboot stops at command line.
How do I start the GUI?
TIA

What machine model are you using and what graphic card is installed in it ?

Hi,
Thanks
It's a Sunlade 1500 with I think a XVR 100 Card.
Doesn't matter I don't think as this is the install

pfexec beadm create <be-name>
pfexec beadm mount <be-name> /mnt
pfexec pkg -R /mnt install babel_install
pfexec pkg -R /mnt uninstall babel_install slim_install
pfexec bootadm update-archive -R /mnt
pfexec beadm umount <be-name>
pfexec beadm activate <be-name>
Reboot the system to enter the new boot environment.
Enable the GDM service: pfexec svcadm enable gdm

it's up and running but not as good as on the x86 architecture.
It's pretty rough and I am a real newbie.
Regards,
Lew Targett

The hardware matters. The OpenSource XVR 100 driver is documented to be still very unstable.
