it's on sparc64, when openprompt attempts to load the bootloader, then
nothing comes up. so basically the bootloader doesn't start at all, but in
some occasions, the bootloader would magically load(most of the time
doesnt).
the only way to access to the machine for me is via ssh. the machine is
still on, it's just that i cannot be rebooted ever, otherwise i will lose
control to it. so i gotta fix it before any reboot occurs
