Well, we took it into work an hooked it up to a Sun monitor and it
worked fine.  Brought it back home and tried the adapter and got
nothing.  Tried boot -r and the first time got a little bit of a border
on the screen, but that was it.  Tried again and got nothing again.  

We're still trying to get an install to go.  Keeps on dying somewhere
during the package install, before the system configuration.
