[SunHELP] Ultra 5's and 10's boot problem

[sunhelp at sunhelp.org]

I made a few changes to 7 of my Sun Ultra 5's and 10's
and did an 'init 6' to reboot the machines.

They have always been very co-operative but this time
they refuse to boot with out a keyboard and mouse connected.

I can't recall changing anything to make this happen, so
I am wondering what I may have done wrong.

Further, the machines are now prompting for a firmware
password, which I bypassed by using the root password
of the boxes, but one machine just does not accept this.

So, my questions are, how can I get the machines to boot
without keyboards, and how can I make the machines NOT
ask for a firmware password ?
