I've execute the eeprom command. Here is the output:

I try to boot from CD to upgrade my system using graphic mode

Code:
ok> boot cdrom

This is what I saw when the system rebooted:
Code:
Can't find driver for console framebufferConfiguring /dev and /devices

And then it went to CLI installation mode not graphic mode.

I suggest you go to Sun Microsystems and look for hardware release notes regarding your machine.

eg http://docs-pdf.sun.com/817-4348-11/817-4348-11.pdf

can you check what the device alias screen points to? It may be that the grapics card has been changed at some point and the alias is no longer valid.
