pkgadd from Sol 8 cdrom without pgkmap files

I have an Ultra 5 with Solaris 8 2/02 (upgraded from Sol 7
Core only) and I need to add the SUNWipc and SUNWipcx packages.

These packages are on the Solaris 8 Software CD in the
[/mnt]/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg directory. But when I
try to add them via
    pkgadd -d /mnt/tmp/root/var/sadm/pkg
pkgadd brings up the list of packages in the directory,
but complains bitterly about there not being a pkgadd
file in the package's directory, and indeed there is no
pkgmap file in _any_ of the package directories.

I have checked the SunManager archives and google'd
to no avail.

How can I add these packages from the Solaris 8 CD's?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I will summarize and report what works.

Bill
