boot@boot for sunPCI

I am running the new sunpci v. 2.3, and trying to get
boot@boot functionality. My sunpci card is connected
to the solaris monitor, so that I can change between
Solaris 8 and the sunPC at a flick of a switch.
I have a mouse plugged into the sunpci card, but
no keyboard so that the sunpci uses the keyboard
through solaris.

When the sunPCi boots up (at solaris boot time), the PC boots up
and is displayed, before any user logs in, as I was hoping.
The problem is that there is no way to use the keyboard,
since I'm assuming that the keyboard needs a solaris X window
to connect through. I have been running vnc, but still
haven't figured out how to connect the keyboard through it,
short of opening up the vncviewer and passing on the
keyboard through that (which is meant for administrators,
not for my users).

Has anyone implemented boot@boot and if so can you
tell me how to be able to use the keyboard with it?

Many thanks,
Leigh Willard
