I received several answers. Several people mentioned that I should
have the diag option set to FALSE (I had). One person told me to
check and see if a Sparc 1+ can run Solaris 2.5 (it can).
The answer that solved my problem was:
-------------
Stephen Harris <sweh@mpn.com>: Try "sd(0,3,0)". Sun's can remap ID's
0 and 3 for some historical reason, so scsi id 0 is logical ID 3 and
scsi id 3 is logical ID 0.
-------------
Thus I set the boot device to be sd(0,3,0) and the system boots.
