It actually was a faulty dvd drive. I dont know if its a common problem based ou your answer. So I removed the drive and put one from a 'nearby' laptop and this time the command: 'boot cdrom0' worked like a charm. I wish i had stumbled upon this earlier,would have saved me over a day in troubleshooting. Only problem now is setting the static routes permanent as they all disappear on reboot.

Or you can use your own laptop drive or image in your hardisk to install;;;
By logging thru net-mgt - put an ip address in ILOM; then connect via your browser - password is "change me"
Then once in through your browser - go to 'remote login/connection' download the java file (you must have java in your laptop)
Then launch remote desktop connection
Then share your mouse, keyboard and drive..
Point/Mount the OS image - and reboot the Sun Fire -- then Voila...
Tell us how far you get should you decide to use this option.
