I've always done this over serial with kermit.  With kermit you can get a
break using ctrl-\ ctrl-B.

I want to install Solaris 10, but inserting DVD and booting doesn't
work. It starts the disk.

I don't have a Sun keyboard to send Stop-A
I don't have console/tty access (no adapter)

none of these work
Crtl-Break
Ctrl-~
Shift-Pause-A
Ctrl-c
