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.
