That's not the same failure. There was no extra graphics card in the
box.

It's highly unlikely that having Solaris 10 on the disc is a problem
per se, though when I last knew, Solaris 10 didn't like partitions
made with Debian's fdisk or parted so you couldn't easily run a
dual-boot system as worked with earlier Solaris/Debian.

I hope to be able to have another go with the CD install soon.
