2.2.7? Really it says that? Wow. That should be 2.2.1 still.

You should be using the 2.2.1-sun4u tftp image, i.e., the one you were
using, dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/tftpboot-2.2.1.img .
Can you give more details on your failure? It is loading the kernel
from the network but immediatelly booting you back to the PROM?
