tftpboot-2.2.1.img contains both sparc32 (sun4[cdm]) and sparc64 (sun4u)
kernels and root.bin.  It was built with TILO which chooses the right kernel
to execute depending on the architecture.
Note that it is not really much bigger than tftpboot.img (which only contains
2.0.35 kernel and root.bin) because kernels are stored gzip'ed in that case.

Regards.
