Need help troubleshooting a booting issue with an e250

Everytime I try to boot this Sun e250 box it keeps locking up loading a
device. Here is the output of doing a boot cdrom -sv

Type 'go' to resume
{0} ok boot cdrom -sv
Resetting ...

Can't open input device.
Keyboard not present. Using ttya for input and output.

--------------------------------------------------------------------End of
Boot sequence ------------------------------------------

If you notice the very last line there is a funky character right at the
beginning. It should say se1 but instead it says ~e1.
After this entry the server does boot any further and only responds to a
stop-A.
How can I troubleshoot this any further to know what is the problem?

Any help is much appriciated.
