My guess is that the OBP and Solaris 8 version you are using is outdated,
however try this from Sun SRDB 40646:

Check the serial port entries in /etc/path_to_inst:

# grep serial /etc/path_to_inst

The entries should look like:

        "/pci@1f,0/isa@7/serial@0,2e8" 1 "su"
        "/pci@1f,0/isa@7/serial@0,3f8" 0 "su"

If these entries are incorrect or missing, then take one of actions below:

1) If this system was just installed with JumpStart[TM], then most likely the jumpstart
   image is corrupt. Recreate the image and jumpstart the client again.

2) If the system had been functioning normally before this problem occurred, then
   recreate the path_to_inst file:

        # mv /etc/path_to_inst ..
          # init 0
          ok boot -a

          [Press Return to select default values for everything except /etc/path_to_inst.
          Enter y to rebuild /etc/path_to_inst when prompted]:
  
          The /etc/path_to_inst on your system does not exist or is empty.
          Do you want to rebuild this file [n]? y
