The bootprom in your machine knows how to read the filesystem on the
CD. Just insert your 4.5 CD, halt your current operating system (do
not reboot). You'll end up in boot prom, at an 'ok' prompt. Here you
type 'boot cdrom' to boot from cd and off you go. Read the
INSTALL.sparc64 document for more details. These fine documents
actually contain this sort of information :)
