7.1.3 instn: SQL*DBA startup cmd gives ORA-03113; help!

  I'm trying to install Oracle V7.1.3 on a 16Mb SPARCclassic using the   installer program, orainst. (This is as a trial--it is subsequently   to be installed on a SPARCcentre 2000).

  The installation fails at the database creation step: SQL*DBA is   invoked with a command file containing the following:

REM * Set terminal output and command echoing on; log output of this script. REM *
#set termout on
#set echo on

spool /opt/oracle/admin/csc2/create/crdbcsc2.lst

REM * Start the <sid> instance (ORACLE_SID here must be set to <sid>). REM *
connect internal
startup nomount pfile=/opt/oracle/admin/csc2/pfile/initcsc2_0.ora ...etc.

  This produces the following output:

SQL*DBA: Release 7.1.3.0.0 - Production on Tue Jan 3 18:46:04 1995

Copyright (c) Oracle Corporation 1979, 1994. All rights reserved.

Oracle7 Server Release 7.1.3.0.0 - Production Release

File /opt/oracle/admin/csc2/create/crdbcsc2.lst opened Tue Jan 3 18:46:12 1995. Connected.
ORA-03113: end-of-file on communication channel ...etc.

  The next SQL*DBA command is `create database ...', which produces   the following output:

DBA-00342: unable to complete internal login
ORA-01034: ORACLE not available
ORA-07319: smsget: read error when trying to read sgadef.dbf file.

  The command `oerr ora 03113' just returns:

03113, 00000, "end-of-file on communication channel" // *Cause:
// *Action:

  Can anyone help.
  Thanks for your attention.
