Are you sure it hangs? Or maybe console is going to a different output? Do these systems have a framebuffer installed? Linux might favor output there. What cmdline are you using for the kernels in grub?
No I am not sure. I did wait for a while, so if the kernel would start up at one point up to the login on serial, that one did not come.
Systems are without keyboard and monitor and Solaris & NetBSD just worked out. I did not remove framebuffers, will check. I could also attach Keyboard & Monitor - even if the LCD I now have doesn't display Sun resolution correctly, it is readable (at least with the SparcStations). It it could be a GRUB sensing and ignoring OBP settings.
Will write back when I can test. Riccardo
