if this is an old box then you may need to update OBP (firmware) of the box.

I am connecting to the box with Console, and that there isn't a moment where OS stop booting, giving {ok} prompt and allow me to type boot cdrom...

do I need to issue the "break sequence" like Ctrl + Break, or pressing some functions keys e.g. F8 like windows?

If you have keyboard with mouse and monitor console, then use the stop A combination to get the ok prompt or if you have serial port terminal then use the break sequence

ASKER

at where should I issue the break sequence?

and is that the break sequence <Ctrl> + <Break> or something else?

thanks

It depends on your terminal. Are you using e.g. hyperterminal?

I am using Putty under Windows XP

I am not sure, but I have seen in some sites they recommend using break key or Cntrl-C

how are you connecting to console using putty, are you using conserver console or something?
