I don't know the equivalent (if there is one) for a PC keyboard.
Another thing I would do in this situation is power down, pull out the hard disks (all of them) from the backplane, and power up. This might just land you at the ok prompt. If it does we can discuss next steps.
(You mentioned earlier that "#." gave you ALOM login. To me this means that the boot process has progressed past the SC boot up and entered "autoboot" ie, looking at the hard disk. So let's pull out the disks to see if it gives an error like "can't access hard drive" and drops to "ok".)
Just an idea.

We had to replace a hard drive in one of our Sun Blade 150s, but now it hangs during the Jumpstart. It will show 1 or 2 Timeout for ARP/RARP messages and then start the spinning numbers. It always stops at 2ae00 and just hangs there.

clprivnet(7) Sun Cluster Device and Network Interfaces clprivnet(7)
NAME
clprivnet - SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver
SYNOPSIS
/dev/clprivnet
DESCRIPTION
Note -
Beginning with the Sun Cluster 3.2 release, Sun Cluster software includes an object-oriented command set. Although Sun Cluster software
still supports the original command set, Sun Cluster procedural documentation uses only the object-oriented command set. For more infor-
mation about the object-oriented command set, see the Intro(1CL) man page.
The SUNW,clprivnet Sun Cluster private network driver is a STREAMS pseudo driver supporting Sun Cluster resident applications that use
standard Solaris interfaces to communicate over the Sun Cluster private network. By striping data traffic over all links, this driver opti-
mally utilizes the bandwidth of the private network while supporting highly available, software fault-tolerant communication.
APPLICATION PROGRAMMING INTERFACE
The driver is supported by the character-special device /dev/clprivnet, but is reserved for Sun Cluster internal operation and the standard
Solaris network utilities. This interface must not be directly used for general application communication.
ADMINISTRATION
The administration and configuration of the driver as a network interface is done completely by the Sun Cluster infrastructure internals.
