Jumstarting SunFire 280R

Hello Sunmanagers,
        Has anyone had difficulty using Jumpstart with Sun-Fire 280R
machines?
        I am using jumpstart with a DHCP server which is also the
boot/install server,
        which holds images of Solaris 8 02/02. My 9 Netra T 1120's can
jumpstart just fine
        but when I try the same process with the 280R the boot fails very
early on
        with:
                "Panic: Could not mount filesystem"
        This is just after the TFTP phase is complete, just at the point
where the client
        should be doing an NFS mount to boot the kernel.

        I suspect the boot block which is generated with add_install_client
may be
        the wrong architecture, but I have tried four different ones with
the same result.

        Any help greatly appreciated.
