Can't get out of OpenBoot

I'm trying to install Solaris 8 on an Ultra 5 via console access.

I'm successfully hooked up via null modem, but "boot cdrom" gives me
(alternately)

> short read 0x2000 chars read
> short read 0x2000 chars read
> Fast Data Access MMU MISS

or and just:

> Fast Data Access MMU MISS

Google advises both:

> ok limit-ecache-size

and

> ok set limit-ecache-size
>

Both of which alternately yeild:

> Unimplemented action #1 on object (fffde280) , whos maximum action #
> is -1

and then

> Fast Instruction Access MMU miss

..After this, "boot cdrom" results in

> Short read. 0x200 chars read
> Short read. 0x200 chars read
> Short read. 0x200 chars read
> Short read. 0x200 chars read
> Short read. 0x200 chars read
> Short read. 0x200 chars read
> ...

For a good 5 minutes.

Sun Ultra 5 270 MHz 128mb ram.

Thanks, will summarize.
