I've come into a few Sun 420r's. How do I get these to boot to an Ubuntu disk?

They just boot right past any cd I put in...and I'm not sure how to get into the thing that looks kinda like the bios.

Thanks for any help, from a sun newb.

Hit Stop-A on the Sun keyboard while it boots, or send a <Break> signal if you're connected via serial console. This brings you to the [FONT="Courier New"]ok>[/FONT] prompt, where you issue the [FONT="Courier New"]boot cdrom[/FONT] command, and off you go.
