Is the SparcServer a Sparc or UltraSparc mahcine?  I think only the
UltraSParc (64-bit) machines have OpenBoot.  Hitting Break on the
attached TTY (a laptop running a terminal emulator) definitely works
on the E250 we have here to get to the ok prompt.  Perhaps the Sparc
machines' firmware is accessed in a different manner?
