Dave, so you are referring to
http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do;jsessionid=22fc82bc52c3918fa69762019015?bug_id=6797441
 ?

Then that bug describes 2 problems in one description.
Whereas the 2nd thing was the actual problem.
Namely not that you have that problem on a SF280R only, namely there
that you run into  "Last Trap: Fast Data Access MMU Miss" if you try
to boot wanboot from CD or DVD.
The real problem is only mentioned in half a sentence at the bottom of
the page, after the so called workaround (not for the real, namely the
2nd [!] problem):

http://bugs.opensolaris.org/view_bug.do;jsessionid=22fc82bc52c3918fa69762019015?bug_id=6797441

"""Unfortunately, if you try to use go to do wanboot install, it still fails."""
That's the actual problem, and it still doesn't even seem to have a bug-id.
It applies to almost all legacy sun4u systems, not only to the SF280R.

Maybe nobody tested.
