Stop+N at boot should reset all nvram variables to default, if that still doesn't work, a serial cable and vt-100 comm program running on another computer will allow you to configure it. If there is no keyboard hooked to a Sun box when it boots, it directs all I/O to the first serial port, kind of like a Cisco router. The settings for the comm software are 9600, 8,n,1 and vt-100 emulation. Once again, HTH.
