SunFire 280R boot problem

Hello managers,

I have a SunFire 280R with the following open boot prom settings:

auto-boot? true true
boot-command boot boot
diag-file
diag-device net net
boot-file
boot-device disk net disk net

The switch is set to I, so I would assume it facilitates the
boot-device setting and boots from disk(0). However, it tries to boot
from net which fails with Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet" since we
have no boot server setup. The boot process is hanging since auto-boot?
is set to true. So I can't manually boot with "boot disk0" which most
likely would work. What can be done here? How can I get to the ok
prompt to set auto-boot? to false and how can I get the system to boot
from the device that is set with boot-device instead of diag-device?

Thanks a lot,

    Andreas
