I can't really help with the SunOS boot program.  Maybe the kernel
needs to use a slightly different format or something...

Why don't you try the NetBSD/sun3 boot programs?
Is is just for lack of an installation method?

Could you put that disk on the other sun and compile the NetBSD/sun3
version of installboot to run on that machine?

I have been thinking about working on a boot tape.
Would that help?

There is always NFS boot if you have a server handy.
