Indeed. I mean, even the user interface is screwed up. Whoever thought
that "start /SYS" and "start /SP/console" (case sensitive commands no
less!) were better than "poweron" and "console -f" respectively needs
their heads examining! The ILOM guys should have taken the lead from
the ALOM guys, IMHO. Oh, and being able to change the ILOM prompt
would be nice, too!

Actually, I quite liked it in a way - I like the heirarchical stuff.
But I agree that it would be a good thing if Sun spent more effort
trying to make all their management CLIs similar, as it would reduce
effort. The ALOM on things like v240 is already similar enough to the
LOM that things like the small netras used to have that it feels
similar (but more featureful), and they in turn feel kind of like the
SC CLI that 6800s (and I presume the other big sunfire boxes) had
though it's a while since I've used them. But the ILOM is something
completely else, which is bad, even if it's "better".
