    Dear managers,

    we have just installed a SunPCI III in a SunBlade 100. We installed the
    software and started

            /opt/SUNspci3/bin/sunpci

    We created a new emulated drive DOS of 2048 MByte. After creating the
    drive the sunpci software reboots. The documentation says we should see
    the OpenDOS prompt now, but all we get is a white screen in the SUNPCI
    window and a blinking cursor at the lower left corner of the window.
    Nothing else happens. A windows CD is inserted into the CD rowm drive
    ready to be installed from. How do we proceed from here? Anybody else
    encountered the white screen? We have not atached a monitor to the
    SUNPCI card. Should we attach one? I expected the DOS prompt to appear
    in the SUN PCI window. Is this a wrong assumption?

    Thanks a lot!

    Regards,

        Andreas
