Can you try switching off auto-boot, then trying again- I think I remember seeing this on a netra T1 I was playing with a few months back. So do something like:
ok setenv auto-boot? false ok #. lom> poweroff lom> poweron ok boot cdrom
After i did what you told me, i got the below output:
ok setenv auto-boot? false ok #. lom> poweroff lom> poweron ok boot cdrom Boot device: /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@d/cdrom@0,0:f File and args: Can't read disk label Can't open disk label package
Can't open boot device
The original problem you had ("Fast Instruction Access MMU Miss") is some strange thing that happens if you had Solaris kernel running on the machine after last power-cycle. Just turn the machine off and then on to solve it. I've seen that on all Sparc boxes I had access to (mostly Ultra 1 and some Netra boxes).
For the second problem (after you power cycled machine), it's kinda strange. Can you check that your cdrom is really on /pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@d/cdrom@0,0? The above message could also happen if media was not in the drive (if working remotely, have somebody check if CD got ejected or something) or if the media is corrupted (try burning another CD).
The setting of auto-boot variable shouldn't have any impact on either problem you were experiencing (the only thing auto-boot controlls is if after poweron you'd go to "ok" prompt, or the machine will start to boot -- it's usefull mostly during installing or troubleshooting so you don't need to babysit machine and race to send break before it starts to boot).
