Eric,

You can check out something I wrote about a year ago about 5.0-DP2:
http://www.non-standard.net/freebsd/sparc64-nfsroot/sparc64-nfsroot.html

If you get the disc2 cd of 5.2 and use the loader from
http://non-standard.net/freebsd/sparc64-nfsroot/ you will probably get it
to work.  That reminds me, i have to fix the link :)

-Anthony
