/dev/ttya & output-device changing in OS Solaris 7



I an boot off one disk and the console works fine using /dev/ttya, if
I reboot off a recovered OS on another disk I appear to lose the
console after the Solaris 7 message.

I recall having a similar problem before and was able to fix it but
for the life of me can't remember what I changed.

I've checked the obvious stuff like output-device & input-device at
the OBP and these are set to default, screen & keyboard, even if I
change them to /dev/ttya this doesn't resolve the issue.

The system that the recovered OS has a Sun keyboard plugged into it so
I am fairly sure this is the issue.

Any suggestions.

TIA.
