SunPCI III on SunBlade 100

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
