You're booting bsd, you need to boot bsd.rd, then you can just do a
standard installation via the usual installer. Either tell the machine
to boot bsd.rd (something like boot net:bsd.rd iirc, but I can never
remember exactly what, unfortunately the sparc64 boot loader doesn't
let you choose the kernel as most other arch do so you have to
catch it in ofw and do it there), or just copy bsd.rd to bsd in
the nfs tree.

You should be able to mount and use the nfs-exported tgz if you want
(the sparc64 ramdisk does have nfs client), though I normally just do a
standard http install.
