Solaris 9 login Screen not loading

The system loads fine no errors on the system during boot. when it tries to start it goes to hostname % it does not show the login screen for the users. any help on this would be great. is the X11 not starting properly?

You are able to connect via console/telnet ?

who -r # which runlevel
This is important to show us if the system starts the rc2.d scripts

/etc/rc2.d/S99dtlogin # Is this script available? and startable?

giving it a shot if it does work what would cause the dtconfig to not launch properly.
