You need to have a copy of the bootloader on your TFTP server named as
the hex representation of the client IP address
so in this case a copy of/symbolic link to ofwboot.net named as
C0A80173 & C0A80173.SUN4 (According to manpage) or dot platform name
according to sun docs, in this case .SUN4U
A copy of the kernel also needs to be on the tftp server
What does your bootparams file look like?
Here's mine for netbooting my T1000
t1000.foo.local root=10.9.9.1:/nfsroot/openbsd/root
swap=10.9.9.1:/nfsroot/openbsd/swap
