    The answers are:

    1. Simply remove the RSC card and then boot the system. Serial A will be
    the console port once again if the RSC card isn't there.

    OR:

    2. Interrupt the boot process by watching for the "general fault" LED (the
    one with the wrench icon) to flash. While it's flashing, press the power
    button twice. This drops the system back to the "ok" prompt with
    "factory-safe" NVRAM parameters (including the all-important "input-device"
    and "output-device") temporarily set. This has allowed me to boot from
    CDROM, and now I can re-install Solaris.

    Thanks for the fast replies!
