Sun Fire V250 and Solaris 7

According to http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/, the V250 only supports
Solaris 8 and 9. However, the V240 does as well and patch 116056-01
seems to have some relevance for the V240 and Solaris 7. Can Solaris 7
run on the V250?

No.  As the patch says "This utility is *not* OS-dependent."
That said, it is a little silly to list Solaris 7 for a firmware patch
for a machine which doesn't support Solaris 7.  I'll raise a bug to get
this fixed.

1. booting a Sun Fire V250 (single-user)

I have a new Sun Fire that I was able to type "console" at
the sc> prompt and the machine come up.  However, now half
the time I type "console" and nothing appears but "Enter #.
to return to ALOM." and it sits there.  Also, how do you get
to the "ok>" prompt to attempt to boot single-user?

Thanks!
