for user root, reboot.

You're the sysadmin, but you don't have a copy of Solaris media? I
smell a rat...what's the whole story here?

Then download and burn a copy of Solaris 9 or Solaris 10. Or buy media
of older versions off of eBay. Then you'll be able to boot from the
installation disk. Until then, you have a doorstop.
[this assumes you aren't trying to break into a system you don't have a
right to]

That would have been good to mention. And please don't top-post, it
XXXXs up the threading of the conversation.
To your problem, sounds like you need to get some solaris media.
