I installed a new hard drive completely blank.
sun blade 150
openboot 4.10.6
message:
Boot device: disk:a File and args:
Bad magic number in disk label
Can't open label package
Evaluating:
Can't open boot device
This is expected behavior if the new disk doesn't contain valid boot information. You should install Solaris there, using CD/DVD.
You can write a valid Sparc disk label in format .
have solaris 8 installation cd.
boot cdrom

Maybe that Solaris release is too old, and does not support the Blade150 hardware?
