Unable to boot sunfire v240
My solaris box (sunfire v240) no longer boots properly. It seemed to have crashed for some reason overnight and now it won't fully boot.
When it powers up it gets as far as displaying:
Rebooting with command: boot
Boot device disk0:aFile and args:
\
on the monitor I hooked up to it. The keyboard is unresponsive.
The hdd0 power light is flashing continuously but the main power light doesn't come on at all, neither does the main error light.
The machine, in this state, is inaccessable to the network and I can't get a serial console either (8N1 9600).
Any ideas of a way forward?
Cheers,
Charlie

Ok, I've tried to connect to the ALOM but I'm not sure I'm going about it right. Is it correct that the ALOM connector is a serial port that takes RJ-45 and not a standard 9-pin serial port.
The back of my box has both. There's a label that says serial mgmt at the bottom, then the RJ-45 and then the standard 9-pin serial port is on top of that. Is the placement of the 9-pin just a conincidence or is it actually an interface to the ALOM?
I never set up net mgmt but I certainly will once this is over.
Cheers,
Charlie
