Very Computer

Hello folks,
Got a new ultra-5 yesterday and i am having
problems to install Solaris 2.6. The system
comes up complaining with the error
        boot: cannot find kernel/unix

Have tried numerous workarounds including interactive
boots, giving path /platform/sun4u/kernel/unix instead
of kernel/unix but none worked. Trying to install from
network gives the same error.
The manual proposes a solution :
'Reset the boot file in the PROM to "" (blank)'
but i dont know how to do that and my vendor was not
quite keen to get into this. Any clues ?

kind regards
/P

go to the OK prompt, say "help setenv", then set the variable
"boot-file" to "" according to that help (on my machine, that would be
'setenv boot-file ""' (I think, I haven't done that in some time).
