[Sunhelp] installation help

[Pete Fritchman]

Try doing a "printenv" at your ok prompt.  There is a boot-args variable (I 
forget it's exact name) that probably has the value "bsd".  Use setenv and clear
this variable, and you'll be OK.

I believe OpenBSD on the sparc platform requires the "bsd" boot argument, so the
box probably had a BSD variant on it before.
