It certainly seems to think it needs a server to boot. I'm not really a OBP expert, so I can't tell you exactly how to fix this. I need to "feel my way" as I go.., But from the ok prompt, type "printenv" and look for "boot device". It typically will have the value "disk net". This means the the box will try to boot from disk first, and it it can't do that, then it tries net. Could that be happening? And I hope you haven't set your boot-device to be just "net"! From the ok prompt, "devalias" will show you the defined device aliases. You can try the commands:
boot disk
boot disk1
and so on if you have multiple disks defined. Try some of this stuff and let us know what you find.

installboot
installboot(1M) installboot(1M)
NAME
installboot - install bootblocks in a disk partition
SYNOPSIS
installboot bootblk raw-disk-device
The boot(1M) program, ufsboot, is loaded from disk by the bootblock program which resides in the boot area of a disk partition.
The ufs boot objects are platform-dependent, and reside in the /usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs directory. The platform name can be
found using the -i option of uname(1).
The installboot utility is a SPARC only program. It is not supported on the architecture. users should use installgrub(1M) instead.
bootblk The name of the bootblock code.
raw-disk-device The name of the disk device onto which the bootblock code is to be installed; it must be a character device which is read-
able and writable. Naming conventions for a SCSI or IPI drive are c?t?d?s? and c?d?s? for an IDE drive.
Example 1: Installing UFS Boot Block
To install a ufs boot block on slice 0 of target 0 on controller 1 of the platform where the command is being run, use:
example# installboot /usr/platform/`uname -i`/lib/fs/ufs/bootblk
/dev/rdsk/c1t0d0s0
/usr/platform/platform-name/lib/fs/ufs
directory where ufs boot objects reside.
/platform/platform-name/ufsboot
second level program to boot from a disk or CD
