Screen blank on boot up

I have a SunFire V490

Recently when the server is rebooted the screen goes blank from when the CDE is shutdown to when it is started up again.

Has anyone got any ideas what might be causing this?

I've had a quick look in messages but can't find anything in there. I've had a look at eeprom:
Code:
eeprom | grep device
output-device=ttya
input-device=ttya

From what I have read this is valid.

It does run through a KVM but I have also tried it with a monitor and keyboard plugged directly in but got the same problem.

Many thanks
Paul.
