FreeBSD on sparc64 hardware

Has anyone been able to get the new FreeBSD 5.0 onto an ultrasparc machine? I'm trying to do it via 'boot net' but I'm going bald:

Environment monitoring: disabled
Executing last command: boot net
Boot device: /pci@1f,0/ethernet@c File and args:
Using Onboard Transceiver - Link Up.
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet

1d000
Server IP address: x.x.x.x
Client IP address: y.y.y.y
Console: OpenFirmware console
FreeBSD/sparc64 loader
bootpath="/pci@1f,0/ethernet@c"
loaddev=net0:

can't load 'kernel'

Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help.
OK

(The server and client IP addresses are correct but edited out)

It finds the loader, but it won't find the kernel. I'm using the tftp loader and using bootp right now.

Any info I find on the internet talks about cdroms. There is no cdrom in this machine. I downloaded the iso and am going to burn it and install a temp cdrom if I can't get this boot net thing working, but that's a last resort (involves manual labor!).
