I got a few answers, nothing worked. We received a new machine
to replace the 10/333 (we got a 10/440). That one would install,
but that one crashed all the time.
So the problem still exists!
Thanks anyway to the ones that looked into my problem:
The answers I got:

Been there, done that. We tried all bootable cd's, to no avail. :-(

I think "limit-ecache-size" is a "enterprise" command that does not work
on an Ultra10, so that won't help.
>N S Jayashankar:
This should be a problem with the memory I think . Please check out
I don't think so. The machine has been running sol2.5.1 for more than
one year now, no memmory problems found.
>GC-Richardson, Chris:
Which disk are you booting from? Be sure to use disk 1 of 2
Tried them all.
>Alan Orndorff
Theres a new bios on Sunsolve. Mine HAD revision 1, revision 2 fixed it
THIS we haven't tried yet!
