Assuming that the hardware is not faulty (which is a possibility) I think we need to try and get a 'ok' prompt in order to install Solaris 10.
So try this.....
1. Power up the machine from cold (no power) and don't touch it at all. Let the ALOM boot and when the menu appears don't touch anything. Many a ALOM firmware will drop to a 'ok' prompt after a timeout if you don't touch anything. After five minutes try hitting 'return' and/or entering CTRL-Q in case the console is x-off'd.
2. After the menu is displayed trying keying CTRL-Fn-F12
Do you get any response. Cold power up a few times and enter that keystroke at various different stages of boot.
If we can install Solaris you can use 'scadm' with the OS running to configure the ALOM. I'm beginning to think that you won't achieve it any other way.
If you do manage to get to a 'ok' prompt try the command 'boot' first in case there's already an installed OS on the system.

Hi,
I was asked to connect a KVM screen to a Sun Fire V440 last night so I connected it up but no joy and nothing on the KVM screen. I was told that a reboot may fix the problem so connected to the ALOM and rebooted. On the plus side, the KVM screen now works but I lost the ALOM connection.
