Hi,
I've checked my device aliases, and here comes the result:

{0} ok devalias
screen          /pci@8,700000/SUNW,XVR-100@2
mouse          /pci@9,700000/usb@1,3,/mouse@2
keyboard      /pci@9,700000/usb@1,3,/keyboad@1
disk1           /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@1,0
disk0           /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@0,0
disk            /pci@9,600000/SUNW,qlc@2/fp@0,0/disk@0,0
ide             /pci@8,700000/ide@6

If you see some thing wrong, please let me know.
Thanks

Can you open the box and see what it says on the board?

I'm sure there is an elegant way to find out whats on the PCI bus, does the "dmesg" output give any clues?

23

I can't open my box now for some reasons. I tried the "dmesg" but no graphic related messages showed up. I also tried "reboot -- -rv" but nothing new.

24

Try this at the prom...

show-pci-devs-all

More usefull things at...

http://sunsolve.sun.com/handbook_private/General/OBP.html

25

from the ok prompt.

cd /pci@8,700000/
ls

And post that output.

26 
{0} ok cd /pci@8,700000/
{0} ok ls
f00c9e44 ide@6
f00bdf30 SUNW,XVR-100@2

But the command show-pci-devs failed:

{0} ok show-pci-devs-all
show-pci-devs-all ?
{0} ok show-pci-devs/pci@8,700000
show-pci-devs/pci@8,700000 ?

That does match your screen alias... back to the docs/release notes I think.
