Did you actually type '/boot bsd.rd'?
When booting from softraid you need to pass the virtual 'sr' drive
as part of the boot path. Try again with: boot sr0a:/bsd.rd
>From the boot_sparc64(8) man page:
To boot from a softraid(4) volume by default, boot-device must be set to
a disk device hosting a chunk of the softraid volume:
ok setenv boot-device disk0
and boot-file must contain the (sr) device name of the softraid volume
and optionally a partition letter and/or kernel:
ok setenv boot-file sr0a:/bsd
