That's not the disk boot order, that's probably the Sbus scan order.  If
it is set to not scan the onboard peripherals then you won't be able to
get console output.

Try holding down Stop-N while powering the machine on until you get an OBP
screen.  This should clear everything to defaults.  If that fails, hook up
a serial terminal to ttya via a null-modem cable (9600 8N1) and see if you
get any output.
