jumpstarting sun fire v240

Ok, I know I've seen messages fly by about the 210/240 servers.
Unfortunately, I didn't keep them, and lately I've had problems searching
the archive.

I'm only posting because we're behind schedule on this.

We just got a brandy-new v240. I pulled the hard drive and put in a fresh
one (so as not to screw up the factory config), because I figured I'd have
trouble jumpstarting it.

My jumpstart server is an Ultra 2 running Solaris 8 with the latest
recommended cluster, plus these:
109889-02 (or newer) platform links & libc_psr patch
111794-02 (or newer) /usr/lib/libcpc.so.1 patch
112249-02 (or newer) libprtdiag_psr.so.1 patch
113679-01 (or newer) rmc* and librsc.so.1 patch
113680-01 (or newer) bge patch
113681-01 (or newer) mc-us3i patch
113682-01 (or newer) pmugpio patch
113683-01 (or newer) todm5819p_rmc patch
113684-01 (or newer) scadm patch

When I try to jumpstart, I get this on the V240's console:
Rebooting with command: boot net - install
Boot device: /pci@1f,700000/network@2 File and args: - install
100 Mbps HDX Link up
2aa00 100 Mbps HDX Link up
boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:

I'm wondering: do I have to apply the 8_Recommended patch cluster to the
boot image to get kernel support for the V240 architecture, or is there
something else I'm doing wrong?

If I have to apply the patch cluster to the boot image, does anybody have
a quickref for that, or a pointer to an FAQ? I'm sure I've seen this info
before, but now that we're behind schedule my boss is breathing down my
neck.

Much appreciated,
-Adam
