boot -s (assuming you have the root password to the system)
-s puts you into single user mode, basically init 1.
if you don't have the root password then you will have to boot off the cdrom, change the root and proceeed with your configuring
boot cdrom -s

You need to issue the STOP+A key sequence to get the ok prompt, then you can follow the instructions above (boot cdrom). It sounds like you want to start from scratch on it.

Once you interrupt the booting secuence with STOP+A boot single user (boot -s) by suppling root's password.
Once on the prompt delete /etc/defaultdomain file so that it will assume no YP Domain bypassing YP configuration.
