From ALOM use the 'break' command to send a break during the OS boot process. That will drop you at the OK prompt. It will not work reliably during POST or OBP load, you must wait for the system to start trying to boot the OS.
Some useful stuff available at,
Solaris FAQ / HOWTO [Unix/Linux systems administrator's handbook]
I'm not sure if just typing break works (never tried it), but you can try it this way:
set /HOST send_break_action=break
You can always disable autoboot from the ALOM:
set /HOST/bootmode script="setenv auto-boot? false"

NAME
systemd-efi-boot-generator - Generator for automatically mounting the EFI System Partition used by the current boot to /boot
SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/systemd-efi-boot-generator
DESCRIPTION
systemd-efi-boot-generator is a generator that automatically creates mount and automount units for the EFI System Partition (ESP), mounting
it to /boot. Note that this generator will execute no operation on non-EFI systems, on systems where the boot loader does not communicate
the used ESP to the OS, on systems where /boot is an explicitly configured mount (for example, listed in fstab(5)) or where the /boot mount
point is non-empty. Since this generator creates an automount unit, the mount will only be activated on-demand, when accessed.
systemd-efi-boot-generator implements the generator specification[1].
