I don't know if it will help, but try typing:
setenv watchdog-reboot? false
at the ok prompt (the Stop-A prompt), then type:
reset
to record the change to the nvram, and then:
net boot
to see if it worked.

To understand more about the OpenBoot prom (the ok prompt), look for the
documents in:
http://docs.sun.com/
for your plattform [sp?].
The only thing I knew before reading those documents was to type "help"
and "boot disk".
