Have a Sun Fire V210 and when at the OBP ok> prompt I type:
boot cdrom

Then it halts with the message can't find /kernel/sparcv9/unix and
ends up at:
Code: 
Boot:

With OpenBSD, I can type:
Boot: /bsd -a

What do I need to type for FreeBSD?
 
Finding the right cdrom?

I needed to use

Code: 
boot cdrom2

(I discovered this the hard way, by not having an official "Sun" keyboard -- they have extra keys).

On my Sun Blade 100, I installed a DVD-RW drive. At boot (the "twirling" slash appears, and I hit the "Turbo + A" keys to reach the "OK" prompt, interrupting the normal boot.

At the "OK" prompt I was able to issue

Code: 
devalias

which gave me the list of all the discoverable devices on my system. I ended up with

Code: 
...snip...
cdrom
cdrom1
cdrom2
...snip...

among all the other hardware (drives, keyboard, monitor...etc).

In the end, my boot kernel was on "cdrom2". So i needed to issue :
Code: 
boot cdrom2
