Okay, I did that by editing the boot lines in GRUB before starting the
boot.  All I saw on the screen were two lines:

    SunOS Release 5.11 ... illumos-b7daf79982 64-bit
    Copyright (c) 1983, ...

My keyboard was dead.  The Caps Lock and Scroll Lock lights were on.

The disk light came on a few times and stayed on for a long time.  I'd
say that it was trying to read something from the disk and failing.
Now the disk light is permanently off.  There's nothing new on the
screen, just those two lines I mentioned above.  There were no error
messages.
