Bill Maggio <bmaggio@dcs.bellcore.com> gave me the hint to replace the SCSI cable.
I don't understand the reason because booting SOLARIS 2.1 has worked.
Thanks to Bill. Here is his quick answer

Have you just tried typing `boot cdrom`? This can be typed at
the new command mode prompt (eg, the ok prompt).
You may also want to recheck or replace the SCSI cable(s). I
have seen a similar problem and was simply a bad scsi cable (even
though it was a brand new cable!).
