The default settings are 9600 baud, 8N1 (eight data bits, no parity, one stop bit),
no flow control.

start /SP/console

“Gathering Information for the Installation
to help you enter the system and network information as
you are prompted.
The screens that are displayed will vary, depending on the method that you chose
for assigning network information to the server (DHCP or static IP address).
After you have entered the system-configuration information, the server completes
the boot process and displays the Solaris login prompt.
