SunPCI 1.2.1 remains black screen

Hi,

I am (still) trying to get my SunPCI card alive... Having SunPCI 1.2.1
version on Solaris-9 on a Ultra-5, I start the "sunpci" executable as
"root". It prompts me to create an initial C drive, but there's nothing
in the popup-window where I can specify that Windows-whatsoever must be
installed on the C: drive (unlike in more recent versions of SunPCI, as
I can find in documentation).

After the C drive-file is create, the SunPCI window appears, but remains
black. I don't see any C:\ prompt in it, from where I could launch the
Windows-installation.

How should I proceed to get Windows on it ?
- is there anything wrong with my card because the window remains black ?
- can I safely upgrade my SunPCI software to the -say- latest version
(or less recent) with the same card installed?
- is there nothing wrong, but something undocumented with this version
about how to install Windows?

TIA

Rob
