Tim,

Your box is trying to boot off the network.  Is this what you intended? 
  If not, you'll need to change the boot device setting.

 From the "ok>" prompt, you can type:

   printenv boot-device

To see the current setting.  You probably want to set it to "disk" to 
make it boot from the disk:

   setenv boot-device disk

You'll also want to make sure that the diag-switch? setting is set to 
*false* (or, if you have a real hardware diagnostic switch, make sure 
it's off):

   printenv diag-switch?

If not, set it to false:

   setenv diag-switch? false

When in diagnostic mode, your Sparc will use diag-device rather than 
boot-device for booting.  Incidentally, typing 'printenv' by itself will 
display all the openboot settings.

If this doesn't help, we'll try something else :).
