usage of boot.flp

[Fred Clift]

I have a

SPARCengine(tm)Ultra(tm) AXi (UltraSPARC-IIi 360MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.10.4 SME, 128 MB memory installed, Serial #10425614.


which I want to put FreeBSD 5.1-BETA on.  I grabbed the boot.flp (a bit
over 4 MB), dropped it into my ftfp/rarp/bootparams server and made made
all the setup right afaik.

The file is properly tftp'd when I 'boot net' and I get

...
Boot device: /pci at 1f,0/pci at 1,1/network at 1,1  File and args: -
404000 (this line counts up as it loads the file...)
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
...


Should I be doing something different with this?  I was hoping not to have
to download and burn a CD...


Or am I just doing this wrong?  Hm -- perhaps i should boot into my
network recovery shell and dd this over the first slice?  I'm new to
FreeBSD on sparc64 - thanks for your patience and help.
