I just reinstalled Solaris 2.6 on my E450, and when it boots up, the CDE doesn't start. Instead, it gives me a prompt to log into a command line. The S99dtlogin file is in /etc/rc2.d, so everything should be ok. Using Exceed from my laptop, I am able to open the CDE, but not from the console!!! Can someone tell me what's going on?

PS: I'm not sure if this has any relevance, but I mounted /usr on another device, not the boot device. Would this cause any problems?

Thanks in advance for any help!
