Take a look in the Sun Flash PROM Guide for Workstations and Workgroup Servers - Standalone Version manual, part number 802-3233-27. Chapter 3 tells how to setup a Flash PROM boot server. I have a boot server setup and just configure a workstation to boot a file like "Update.to.flapjack_lite.4.0.18@OS" that comes from the ZIP file.
I've done that before. Perhaps you're talking about a different manual, but I've netbooted Flash PROM updaters before for multiple sparc64 machines. However, this patch includes the file you mention, which is a shell script, rather than an executable that can be booted.
