Console I/O lost on Sunfire V100 with wiped disk

Sunmanagers,

I have recently bought a used Sunfire V100. As a
service to me, the seller wiped clean the system
disks. Normally, this would be great, but in this
case, the LOM has been setup with usernames and
passwords, none of which is remembered to the seller,
who hasn't used the machine in a long while.

I have been able to get to the lom> prompt using the
JP13/JP14 trick, but when i try to 'break', or
'console -f' to get the system console, i get the
'Console is not shared.' message. this SHOULD mean
that console IO is on Serial B, but there is nothing
there.

Anyone know where else the console IO may be going?
Any way of recovering or bypassing the LOMlite other
than the JP13/JP14, so i can get the console back on
Serial A?

I am trying to get to the OBP ("ok" prompt), so i can
install anew and bring this machine back to life ASAP.

thanks for whatever tips or suggestions you might
offer.
