Need help booting solaris
(I hope I posted this in the right place, if its not, I'm sorry)

I had just acquired for free via cragslist a SPARC system (SPARK server 10 on the front)
I feel like Im way in over my head here but it was free so I coudnt resist.
Turning the thing on I got an error about booting (Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet)
This page here told me to change the boot-device parameter to disk. It was set to net.
My question is how do I change this setting? Im assuming this probably a real easy thing to do but I have no idea. Not familiar at all with solaris. by pressing stop and A I got a command promp "ok>"
