working now...
Thanks for your reply. Actually, it's just a (relatively) little SunFire, a V250 to be more specific, only one board. About the size of the typical under-the-desk tower. Probly cost plenty or Euro though...
When I entered 'console', I got the same result as before the "#.". There was output from the boot process, but never an ok prompt, and never accepting any input.
I'm not 100% sure why, but it's working now, and I got an ok prompt. I believe it came from changes I made in resetsc, changing the message level to include 'minor' events and such. If I figure out more precisely how it was fixed, I'll update. Thanks again for your reply.

xhpprompt
XHPPrompt(3X) XHPPrompt(3X)
NAME
XHPPrompt - Send a prompt to an extended input device.
SYNOPSIS
#include <X11/XHPlib.h>
int XHPPrompt (display, deviceid, prompt)
Display *display;
XID deviceid;
unsigned int prompt;
ARGUMENTS
display Specifies the connection to the X server.
deviceid Specifies the ID of the desired device.
Prompt Specifies the Prompt to be sent. Valid values are: GENERAL_PROMPT, PROMPT_1, PROMPT_2, PROMPT_3, PROMPT_4, PROMPT_5, PROMPT_6,
PROMPT_7.
DESCRIPTION
This request is part of an HP-proprietary extension to X. Its functionality has been superseded by the standard X input device extension
XChangeFeedbackControl request. You should use XChangeFeedbackControl instead of XHPPrompt if possible.
This request sends a prompt to an input device.
A prompt is an audio or visual indication that the program controlling the input device is ready for input. The program may indicate that
status by turning on a prompt on the appropriate input device.
Not all input devices support prompts and acknowledges. Any device that does support a particular prompt will also support the
corresponding acknowledge.
To determine whether an input device supports a particular prompt and acknowledge, the io_byte field of the XHPDeviceList structure should
be examined. The format of this structure is described in the documentation for the XHPListInputDevices request.
RETURN VALUE
none
DIAGNOSTICS
BadDevice An invalid device ID was specified.
BadValue An invalid prompt was specified.
