That is because the setup utility was probably overwritten when you attempted to install Solaris 11.

I strongly suspect that accessing the setup utility is not the same as accessing the firmware configuration.

What make and model of laptop?

NAME

       setup - graphical setup program for the esp package manager

SYNOPSIS

       setup [ directory ]

DESCRIPTION

       setup  provides  a graphical installation interface for EPM-generated portable installation packages. It presents a step-by-step dialog for
       collecting a list of packages to install and accepting any license agreements for those packages.

       setup searches for products in the current directory or the directory specified on the command-line.

INSTALLATION TYPES

       The default type of installation is "custom". That is, users will be able to select from the list of products and install them.

       setup also supports other types of installations. The setup.types file, if present, defines the other installation types.

SEE ALSO

       epm(1) - create software packages.
       setup.types(5) - epm gui setup types file format.
