I've run OpenBSD on both, however never with X so I can't help you
there, sorry. But as far as getting serial console to work, all you
have to do is make sure that a keyboard and monitor are NOT plugged
into the back, and a null-modem cable plugged into the serial port A,
and when you boot the box, it'll just work. The great thing about sun
boxes is the serial support, it "Just Works".
