To answer question 2. an "init 0" takes you to the Open Boot Prom's (OBP) monitor prompt on a Sparc based Sun machine, an Intel based machine cannot be shutdown to the BIOS level so an init 0 has to just reboot an Intel box instead.
Concerning failsafe mode in question 1. again a Sparc based machine can have security password set and the security mode set to "command" such that one can only run "boot" from the OBP unless you provide the password, so a "boot -F failsafe" would cause you to have to supply the PROM password, Intel machine's BIOS can have a password set to prevent changing of settings but (I think I am correct in saying) not for passing parameters to the Operating system; an intel based Solaris server is therefore going to have to rely on the physical security of the room/data centre it is installed in.
