I was trying this with Solaris 9 and GNOME. In the meanwhile I tried 
the same with a CDE session and had much more luck. I can boot DOS now. 
It appears to be a problem of the color depths (the white screen). 
Obviously DOS was booted but I could not see it.

How can I alter the resolution and the color depth on a SunBlade 100? I 
used to know that but I currently don't remember the procedure.

Thanks!

Regards,

   Andreas
