Ok, if you want nfsroot as well, you need to boot like

boot net ip=sparc1+ip nfsroot=server:/nfsrootfolder

e.q.

boot net ip=123.111.222.333 nfsroot=123.111.222.444:/tftpboot/sparc-debian-root

Don't forget that before you configure the network, DNS is unavailable
so you can only use ip addresses for network installs etc.

HTH,
