I was able to boot the install disk and install over ftp. The install 
completed successfully. When I type boot dqa0 at the srm prompt, it 
starts the boot process but when it gets to Loading 
/boot/defaults/loader.conf it says Unable to load a kernel. Do I need to 
modify the boot command or is there something I missed during the install?

Bruce

Strange, it might be worth trying again with zero-ed bootblocks.
Escape to shell from the installer and run
"dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ad0 bs=1M count=1
