Solaris (9) won't boot!

Hi,

I've just bought an Ultra 60 running solaris 9 (or so I've been led to believe). When I start up, it looks for a (presumably) domain/network to hook up to and the following messages are displayed:

Boot device: net file and args:
Network link setup failed
Please check cable and try again
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet

Now I've seen a sys admin sort a similar problem out by pressing Stop and A, getting to the OK prompt and then editing some file or other that contains (presumably again) the instruction to look for a network. Is anyone out there familiar with this process and problem?

I'm an utter unix newbie, so any spoon feeding for this problem will be much appreciated! Thanks for any help you are able to offer.
