Cool, this looks fine to me. Re your XXX comments the files are in the same directory as the loader, pub/FreeBSD/development/sparc64. The kernel is called kernel-nfsroot.bz2 for netbooting. The iso is named by date and gets updated from time to time, so just pointing to the directory is probably ok; maybe add a note to get the latest one.
