Theres not a lot to go on there but it sounds like your machine is bootinng
into diagnostic mode.  on bootup - hold down stop (or L1) and press A.
then type n to get into new command mode, and type''

setennv diag-switch? false

then reboot

when it comes back up press stop(L1) and a again, and type
n
printenv

if diag-switch? is set to true again the your nvram chip has expired and
you need to get a new one - take a look at the NVRAM faq which is referenced
on www.sunhelp.org

Hope that helps

TTFN
Lauren
