it seems that silo is not or not correctly installed into the bootblock
of your boot-device.
your boot device seems to be /sbus/SUNW, fas@e,8800000/sd@3,0
verify by
{0} ok printenv boot-device
and maybe
{0} ok devalias <first alias from the command above>
you could try to boot the rescue system from cd and pass the right
root-device to the kernel.
ie:
{0} ok boot cdrom
and at silo prompt:
boot: rescue root=/dev/sd...
then your system should boot.
fix /etc/silo.conf and rerun silo
