Hmm, boot prompt:

devalias

should show the devices. Like on this netra t1 ac200:

net2                     /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/network at 5,1
net                      /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/network at c,1

Otherwise at the prompt:

cd /
ls
ok ls
f0074294 SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIe at 0,0
f0068b38 pci at 1f,0
f004fb2c virtual-memory
f004f548 memory at 0,0
f002db50 aliases
f002dae0 options
f002d9a8 openprom
f002d93c chosen
f002d8cc packages
ok cd pci at 1f,0
ok ls
f0072c5c pci at 1
f00719c4 pci at 1,1

etc.
