I smell SPARCengine Ultra AX or Ultra AXi, with a single UltraSPARCII
module. If I guessed correctly (I'm putting money on that, since this is
the same problem I had.), there's one or two different paths you can
take.
One; boot off the CD. It works. Get or burn a bootable CD, and do this
in OpenBoot:

And you'll be set.
Two; check your floppy drive. If it's not a Sun floppy, CHECK FOR A DS0
JUMPER. If you do NOT have a DS0 jumper, you can NOT use the floppy
drive to boot. No way in HELL. Believe me; I've tried.
Good luck!
