I am trying to set up a brand new SunFire 440 and I am connecting to
the machine via a serial connection. What I need to do is reinstall
Solaris 9 but seems like I can't get the machine to boot up and get
the following messages, any ideas?

{3} ok boot -r
Boot device: /pci@1f,700000/scsi@2/disk@0,0 File and args: -r
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
{3} ok boot
Boot device: disk File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
{3} ok

I also tried booting from the DVD and get the following:

{3} ok boot cdrom
