    When booting from a Solaris Installation Disk you can get a shell if
    using the ttya port (vt100 console) using the command "boot -s cdrom"
    from the "ok" prompt.

    Below a screenshoot of the procedure:

    Every one pointed the same answer and made me remember I used to do the
    same a long time ago (may be getting older? :) )
