I'm sorry, but I find this to be a rather ridiculous answer.

Those diskless SLC's aren't worth shit, especially if they only come with
8Mb of memory (the stock configuration).  Lousy video hardware as well, and
only black and white.  I don't think they're worth $75.

The main problem with the color sun 3 is finding a monitor.  Most of those old
Hitachi monitors that came with the older Suns are really fuzzy - I get
headaches if I use them for a long time.  And since you can't adjust the scan
rates on those framebuffers, you need to buy either a new monitor designed for
Suns or a good multisync monitor.

All in all, I think it's a lot easier (and cheaper) to just configure vt0
in your kernel.
