Problem installing Solaris on Netra v100

I have a new Netra server that had Solaris 8 on it, I then decided to
re-install the machine.

I have two questions
1) I noticed that certain versions of Solaris 8 cannot be installed on
the Netra Sever, is there a bug with the netra??

2) Anyway I decided to install Solaris 9 on the server after trying
endlessly to install Solaris 8. During the installation (after I put
the IP numbers in) of Solaris 9 on the server, the power went down,
and I lost connectivity. Now I cannot get into the server, it seems to
freeze up at the logging prompt. This means I cannot go on with the
installation, as I cannot get the server into single user mode, as I
cannot log onto the server.

The problem is that I am connecting via a consol cable from another
Unix Server, so I cannot press Stop + A ,as it will try an put the
server I am connecting from into the go prompt.

How can I recover from this?

Thanks for your answers.

Regards
Mike
