Thanks to Coy Hile and Jeffrey Donovan.
I tried an installboot, but that didn't help. Jeffrey hit it, though: I
could do an update install.
After the flash install on the V890, I did a boot net and did an update
install of 02/04 off my jumpstart image. That did it!
Thanks!

Subject: problem jumpstarting a V890
I'm having trouble properly jumpstarting a V890 using flash archives.
We have flash archives of V240s and V210, but this is our first V890.
The
flash archives from the older machines are Solaris 8 07/03, patched.
They
have /usr/platform/SUNW,Sun-Fire-V890, which tells me that they should
support the V890 platform.
Note that we could not jumpstart with the unpatched 07/03 boot image,
because it did not natively support the V890. We installed the 02/04
boot
image, and then I was able to boot the V890 over the net.
So, we lay down the flash image, but I get the
boot: cannot open kernel/sparcv9/unix
Enter filename [kernel/sparcv9/unix]:
I'd love to be able to use the flash archive instead of rebuilding a
system from scratch with Solaris 8 02/04. Is there any way to do that?
The 07/03 flash archive isn't the *most recent* patch cluster, but it's
within the last few months (enough so I at least see the V890
/usr/platform directory).
Where is "kernel/sparcv9/unix"? Am I having a bootblk problem here?
Thanks,
-Adam
