You'll be able to fix the RSC later.

The console is Open Firmware before Solaris boots. Send a serial BREAK 
to get to the Open Boot Prompt (OBP) if Solaris has booted.

You might want to do a "set auto-boot? false" at this point to stop the 
machine automatically booting.

Usually, "boot cdrom" will boot Solaris from the CD-ROM drive. If you 
just want to boot to a prompt, do a "boot cdrom -s".
