Do I understand you right? You want to boot from your Debian DVD?

In this case, at the OK prompt you have to say

boot cdrom 

( or boot cdrom1 or cdrom2, depending on your hardeware - I don't know the Sun 
Fire).

boot net

means that you try to load the boot code via your ethernet interface. In this 
case you have to set up a boot server (dhcp and tftp server). Not a big deal, 
but you need an additional (Linux) computer.
