It might help to attache your ethernet connector to an ethernet hub.
that's what I did wsith my suns. They see the hub as network connection.
However, if your machine is looking for a specific network address, this
may not work.

Boot up in single-user mode and take a look in your /etc/rc file and
anything it calls.  But the box won't be very useful by the end of the
year (less useful than an IPC is today) unless you upgrade the OS.  Or
will it...?

Already covered that.

Turn off the machine, then turn it on again
during the initial boot up, press stop-a
then boot the machine in single user mode
in the root sheel enter sys-unconfig so the network configuration files get
delete
then boot the machine and it should run you through the system configuration
proccess.
just chose not networked system then.

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
