   So I put the old memory back in it's original location and rebooted
   while apparently having left the diag-switch? Parameter set to
   true.  Now the box is repeating "Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP
   packet."  it seems to get through the first few POST tests and sees
   the old memory fine - I'm self-admittedly not a SPARC guy so this
   is all Greek to me.  All I know for sure is that it's not
   booting....

The diag boot device is probably set to the network.  Either turn
diag-switch? back off, or change the network boot device, or boot the
explicit device.
