Cannot install or run Solaris 8 on Sun Blade 150

Hi everybody,
I'm having big troubles in installing Solaris 8 on a Sun Blade 150.
Here are some system specs:
Code:
Sun Blade 150 (UltraSPARC-IIe 550MHz)
RAM: 256MB 
OBP    4.10.6    2003/06/06    12:30
POST    2.0.1    2001/08/23    17:13

When I try to boot from Solaris 8 CD with boot cdrom or boot cdrom -s I receive the following messages:
Code:
SunOS Release 5.8 Version Generic_108528-05 64-bit

Resetting ...

This process creates a boot loop. I have to stop+A to end it.

I've also managed to install Solaris 8, from same CDs, on another Sun Blade 150, with similar hardware and software (the Openboot is a bit holder on this one: OBP 4.6.5). After a successful installation I moved the HDD to the other Sun Blade, the one who gives me problems. The result is the same: I get the same error that I receive when I try to boot from CD.


I'm going crazy!
Please help!

Thanks in advance!

Alessio.
