....

You should double-check /usr/dt/config/Xservers .
It should have an uncommented line that looks like-

* Local local@console /usr/bin/X11/X :0

Booting once without a working graphics card can cause that line to
be commented out with a leading # character. That would prevent dtlogin
from starting the X server on later reboots. A commented out line
doesn't look very different. But it acts very different.
