NOW I AM NOT ABLE TO BOOT FROM DVD FROM A HASH PROMPT

No, you don't boot the system from a hash prompt. If you have a hash prompt the system has booted successfully.

I think you had better explain what you are trying to do rather than just ask questions about booting.

AND........if you are trying to install Solaris OS to a hard disk then when you get to the prompt:

Code:
Solaris console login:

don't touch it. Keep your fingers out and let it run.
