[ale] Any Sun hardware wizards out there?

I have a Sunfire x4100 M2 that powers up but won't boot either with the 
"on" button or "start"-ing at /SYS. Any wisdom would be appreciated; the 
SUn hardware Google group I found seemed none to active.

Server worked fine until the cold, they are out in the garage due to 
sound volume. The event list shows:

5423   Thu Jan  4 07:58:01 2018  Audit     Log       minor
        root : Open Session : object = /session/type : value = shell : 
success
5422   Thu Jan  4 07:50:20 2018  IPMI      Log       critical
        ID =  e87 : 01/04/2018 : 07:50:20 : Entity Presence : 
io.id1.prsnt : Device Present
5421   Thu Jan  4 07:52:48 2018  Audit     Log       minor
        root : Close Session : object = /session/type : value = shell : 
success


Took me a while to figure out how to get to that point; wound up with an 
old IBM T30 running Fedora 14 with Minicom going over an old Cisco 
management cable. Not quite old school but it did bring back fond and 
frustrating memories.

Thanks!
