I had already done most of the steps outlined, but instead of rebooting, I just exited from the shell, wich gave me an error in an endless loop complaining that it cannot load /usr/lib/libc.a. I looked up that file on a parallel system, and it is a soft link to /usr/ccs/lib/libc.a.
The next time around, I will verify the presence of the two files, then reboot via sync;sync;sync;reboot.
CA00E1DC is for dynamic console selection. If it appears, try pressing "0", then ENTER. If it does not help, try "1", then ENTER. There used to be a message stating that you should select your console. Sometimes it is swallowed by the Yeti, but you can select the console blindly.
Some more ideas:
If it is an LPAR, you should set booting into SMS when activating the LPAR. This way you can not miss the menu.
If it is not an LPAR, you should have a service processor menu, in which you can also select SMS boot mode.
Once you reached SMS, select "Boot options" / "Boot- install device" and then CD. If it is an LPAR, be sure that the CD device belongs to the mentioned LPAR.
