Solaris Login Screen Not Loading

I (think I) successfully installed Solaris 10 5/09 on the IDE hard drive of my computer using the 5 installation CDs I downloaded from the Sun website. But now when I boot from the IDE hard drive I think it boots successfully but It asks me for the root password or Ctrl+D to abort. When I give it the root password it loads a command line. When I use Ctrl+D it just gives me the prompt for the root password again. Whenever I booted up my SPARC if I let it sit for a minute it would time out and load the login screen. So I left my computer idle for two hours and when I came back the prompt asking for the root password was still there.

I don't know if this next part is part of the problem but I might as well mention it. I boot from my SATA hard drive running Ubuntu and look at this guide: Solaris Operating System - How to Quickly Install the Solaris 10 OS on x86 Systems. At step 31 it shows a screen that I never got when installing. (offtopic: I want my file system to be ZFS.) I did, however, get the screen shown at step 32 and 33. Didn't get 34. I got 35, 36, and 37. Then in step 38 it shows the login screen that I can't get to. Any help?

NAME
login.krb5 - kerberos enhanced login program SYNOPSIS
login.krb5 [ -fF [username] ] DESCRIPTION
login.krb5 is a modification of the BSD login program which is used for two functions. It is the sub-process used by krlogind and telnetd to initiate a user session and it is a replacement for the command-line login program which, when invoked with a password, acquires Ker- beros tickets for the user. login.krb5 will prompt for a username, or take one on the command line, as login.krb5 username and will then prompt for a password. This password will be used to acquire Kerberos Version 5 tickets and Kerberos Version 4 tickets (if possible.) It will also attempt to run aklog to get AFS tokens for the user. The version 5 tickets will be tested against a local krb5.keytab if it is available, in order to verify the tickets, before letting the user in. However, if the password matches the entry in /etc/passwd the user will be unconditionally allowed (permitting use of the machine in case of network failure.) OPTIONS
-r hostname pass hostname to rlogind. -h hostname pass hostname to telnetd, etc. -f name Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g., datakit, xterm, etc.; allow preauthenticated login as root. -F name Perform pre-authenticated login, e.g.,for datakit, xterm, etc.; allows preauthenticated login as root. -e name Perform pre-authenticated, encrypted login. Must do term negotiation. CONFIGURATION
login.krb5 is also configured via krb5.conf using the login stanza. A collection of options dealing with initial authentication are pro- vided: krb5_get_tickets Use password to get V5 tickets. Default value true. krb4_get_tickets Use password to get V4 tickets. Default value true. krb4_convert Use Kerberos conversion daemon to get V4 tickets. Default value false. If false, and krb4_get_tickets is true, then login will get the V5 tickets directly using the Kerberos V4 protocol directly. This does not currently work with non MIT-V4 salt types (such as the AFS3 salt type.) Note that if configuration parameter is true, and the krb524d is not running, login will hang for approxi- mately a minute under Solaris, due to a Solaris socket emulation bug. krb_run_aklog Attempt to run aklog. Default value true. aklog_path Where to find it [not yet implemented.] Default value $(prefix)/bin/aklog. accept_passwd Don't accept plaintext passwords [not yet implemented]. Default value false. DIAGNOSTICS
All diagnostic messages are returned on the connection or tty associated with stderr. SEE ALSO
rlogind(8C), rlogin(1C), telnetd(8c) BUGS
Should use a config file to select use of V5, V4, and AFS, as well as policy for startup. LOGIN(8C)
