Puzzling indeed.

Do you have a machine near your SPARC that you can ssh / telnet to and 
that can talk to the serial console of the SPARC?

The commands would be:

shutdown now (note no -h, no -p)

You can run "ps ax" to see what's left, in case anything is still hanging 
around, then:

exit

This'll exit single user mode.
