If there were a FAQ for this group, this would be on it.

First, check and make sure you have turned off "dosynctodr".  You can
do that with  "tickadj -s" in /etc/rc.local, or you can fix it in /vmunix
with adb.

Second, if that doesn't fix it, request your Sun field support to
install the latest level of boot proms (at least level 2.4)  This fixes
a problem with clock interrupts getting lost when large volumes of text
are sent to the raw (non window-managed) console screen.  (It doesn't
really fix the problem, but it reduces it to a manageable level.)

Enjoy!
