I think most important is to power up the machine (Sun box) from cold on each time you're trying to get the console communication. These ports often seem difficult to "wake up" after a failed attempt.
If your machine doesn't have anything on it yet then there's no filesystem to get corrupted, etc. Therefore (you probably already know) you can power down the machine by holding in the power button for 4 seconds. Just keep trying until it talks sense.
