I had the same issue. The solution that I worked was to take the drive
to another machine and start it there.. The 5/170 is a different beast.
Not 100% sparc compliant. I did it up, but basically in stalled the OS
on anther machine.
 
Never had any issues except that one.

Dear list, 
I yust bought a Sparc5/170 and after some usefull tips from some of you,
I could install the operating system without any significant problems. 
Due to the fact, that I do not intend to install another OpSys, I
decided to boot with the MBR. So I told it to YaST2. 
After  installing it succesfully and effective connection to my private
network I drove the machine down to test the behavior of my Sparc during
the reboot 
Now the issue: This machine does'nt wont to boot. 
So I've seen, while booting  it with the rescue system, there are some
flags, dedicated to the spezific partitions - I've made more of them -
to see in the fdisk. 
My assumption now is, that I have to switch one of them to tell the
machine the boot partition. 
Anyone out there, who could give me a advice to tune for proper booting?
best regards
