I've never been able to run either 1.6.2 nor 1.6ZK on sb150. There were
problems with usb, pciide and atapi buses. I'll try using a serial
console but i don't expect it to work much better...

Concerning X on SBus systems, I'm able to run Xsun quite well on my
Ultra1 (that was some months ago since it's used as a screenless server).

Yes, Ultra1 has cgsix@sbus.
