9.2-RC1 sparc install via network problems

Hi. I have some problems installing 9.2-RC1 on sparc64 via the network

I have a dhcp server, and an NFS server that exports the disc1 ISO.

Relevant portions of dhcpd.conf:

    filename "boot/loader";
    option root-path "<ip-address-of-nfs-server>:/cdrom";

The boot/loader was copied from the install image. The tftpboot directory is 
otherwise empty. (So no loader.conf etc.)

First I tried booting an Ultra10. That paniced immediately

isp0: <Qlogic ISP 1020/1040 PCI SCSI Adapter> port 0x1000-0x10ff mem 
0x2808000-0x2808fff at device 4.0 on pci3
isp0: invalid NVRAM header
isp1: <Qlogic ISP 1020/1040 PCI SCSI Adapter> port 0x2000-0x20ff mem 
0x2900000-0x2900fff at device 2.0 on pci2
panic: trap: data access error (kernel)
cpuid = 0
KDB: stack backtrace:
#0 0xc08588b4 at trap+0x554
Uptime: 1s

This may be a hardware thing so I did not pursue this further. Maybe Ultra10 is 
no longer supported, I don't know. (Ultra10s are crap anyway :)

Next I tried netbooting a V-120. That at least did not panic, but instead of 
starting the installer it produced this message on the console

cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, Medium not present
Trying to mount root from cd9660:/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL [ro]...
mountroot: waiting for device /dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL ...
Mounting from cd9660:/dev/iso9660/FREEBSD_INSTALL failed with error 19.
Trying to mount root from nfs: []...

At which point all I get is a single-user shell.

Is installing via the network supported at all with the new bsd installer? Any 
magic loader options I need to get this to work?

Cheers
Michiel
