I think he is talking about Sun's Openboot. I have a Sun manual called OpenBoot Command Reference Manual that describes these commands. I also attended a course called Sun Systems Fault Analysis ST-350 which covered them in some detail. The book from the course is also a good reference. Some of this might be on Sun's website.
