There's your problem - unplug the Sun keyboard and the machine will default
to using serial port A as the console device when you turn it on. If there
is a Sun keyboard plugged in the machine will try to use that for console
input, but if there is no video card in the machine it'll still try to use
the serial port for console output.

Regards,

Craig.
