Netra t1 - problem with serial port having input disabled

I need to set up a Netra t1 brought in from another organisation - but there
is a catch or two:
The Netra has had Firewall 1 installed.
No root password is available.
The Serial A port (marked LOM) has been configured for console output only -
no keyboard input.

I can't get in via the network.
I can't send a break using the serial port.

I can force the ok> prompt by removing the hard disks then booting from CD -
but the problem remains that I can't use the keyboard. We do not have any
Netras, so this is the first time I've had to deal with one. I've rummaged
in all of the FAQ's I can find, both in this list and on Sun's site, but
nothing seems to fit the bill.

I am trying to connect using Reflections terminal emulator from a PC. I
have tried sending '#.' (having read somewhere in a Sun note that it may
force a break), but to no avail.

If someone could let me know if there is a way of resetting the OBP to
sensible defaults it would help a lot - or, in fact, any other way of
gaining access.

Cheers
