Solaris 10: NVidia PCI card problem

I have just installed Solaris 10 6/06 on my PC but can only manage to
boot it with onboard graphic card (Intel integrated graphics). If
instead I switch to using my NVidia FX5200 PCI card, the system hangs
immediately on boot (right after Sun's license). I have also downloaded
and burned a CD for testing hardware compatibility from Sun website.
According to the generated report, my NVidia PCI card is supported. Any
help on this would be much appreciated! Thanks.

It won't go that far though, it hanged right after Sun license message
no matter which driver I used. Initially, I had to install Sol10 with
my onboard card instead, was hoping that I could get my pci card
working afterward. I have also tried to unplug any present USB device
before reboot, toggled on/off a few options in BIOS setup with no luck.
