Possibly floppy problems?  Sun floppies are persnickety, at best, and
usually need several passes with a cleaning floppy before they work
well, in my hands.  Also check the drive actuator lead screw for dust
accumulation.  I have had several stop there in head seeks.

Headless, probably choose vt* or dumb (vt100 is best).
I had problems on my VAX last night using VT320 emulation with
smooth scroll.  I had to drop back to VT100 with jumpy scroll
to get everything to work well.

Hmm, I have never installed headless, on later sparc boxes, only
on VME crates.  If it is a terminal emuation, make sure it is
as close to vt100/102 as you can get.

That is all I can think of, offhand.
