Get to the ok prompt and type:
boot cdrom

One way is to use serial console and send a break/Stop-A. You can also use ALOM (type #. to get there).

How do you tell a v440 to boot from CDROM? I put the disk in , but it just tries to boot from the HD over and over, without prompting me to boot from the CDROM.

hey mount the cdrom in the dir /a

#mount /dev/dsk/c0t6d0s0 /a … bcoz cdrom devices will mount under /a when it enters in to single user mode…..

yes because you are on /a mount (root). you must type pwd to see where you are ? and thereafter to go on root/ to cdrom and type umount /a so that ok
