The original problem you had ("Fast Instruction Access MMU Miss") is
some strange thing that happens if you had Solaris kernel running on
the machine after last power-cycle. Just turn the machine off and then
on to solve it. I've seen that on all Sparc boxes I had access to
(mostly Ultra 1 and some Netra boxes).
For the second problem (after you power cycled machine), it's kinda
strange. Can you check that your cdrom is really on
/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@d/cdrom@0,0? The above message could also happen
if media was not in the drive (if working remotely, have somebody check
if CD got ejected or something) or if the media is corrupted (try
burning another CD).
The setting of auto-boot variable shouldn't have any impact on either
problem you were experiencing (the only thing auto-boot controlls is if
after poweron you'd go to "ok" prompt, or the machine will start to
boot -- it's usefull mostly during installing or troubleshooting so you
don't need to babysit machine and race to send break before it starts
to boot).
