Dunham and Lucas Bunyan, their way worked for me.
**********************
>From Darren Dunham:
Just change 'input-device' and 'output-device' to
'ttya' in your eeprom settings and reboot.

If you do that, you sould also modify your Xservers
file.  If you don't already have a
/etc/dt/config/Xservers, copy it from 
/usr/dt/config/Xservers.  

The second example describes a screen with no
underlying serial device. Follow that example for your
active line at the bottom.

>From Lucas Bunyan:
There is a way to set up a graphics head and keyboard
on a server as well as have an asci console.

Consoles by default go to the Graphics head if one
exists on a sun  server.
 The following need to be done to be able to use the
graphics head as a  normal terminal and an ASCI
terminal as the console.

    a)   Change the last line in
/usr/dt/config/Xserver   
from:     0   Local local_uid@console root 
/usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0
    ?nobanner
to:       0   Local local_uid@none root
/usr/openwin/bin/Xsun :0 
   ?nobanner

   b)   Then Change the following prom settings
         Eeprom output-device ttya
         Eeprom input-device ttya

   c)   Use admintool to ensure that the serial port a
is set
