Question for the Solaris/SPARC gurus.

I acquired a couple of SS20's recently.
Last night I upgraded to dual CPU's and installed Solaris 8; tonight I
added more memory and seem to have caused some sort of problem while
trying to debug why the box was not seeing the memory addition.

So I put the old memory back in it's original location and rebooted
while apparently having left the diag-switch? Parameter set to true.
Now the box is repeating "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet."  it
seems to get through the first few POST tests and sees the old memory
fine - I'm self-admittedly not a SPARC guy so this is all Greek to me.
All I know for sure is that it's not booting....

Any help/pointers would be greatly appreciated.
I've been all over Sunsolv/docs.sun, and bigadmin but apparently I'm not
using the right search parameters....
