my sun display the message:
the IDPROM contents are invalid
what it wants to say this message??
And i do not obtain to load the operational system.
The sun not recognizes the hard disk.
 

What hardware are you using? It could be that the
NVRAM battery has failed. On older systems, this is quite
common.
When you power on and get the initial banner, does it show
the ethernet address as all zero's? This can be a good
indication that the battery has gone. Solution is to get
a new PROM chip from either SUN, a reseller, or second
user from sites such as ebay.
Good luck

John
