automated installations

I have looked into automating installation of freebsd using:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/articles/pxe/article.html
and
http://www.locolomo.org/pub/pxeboot/index.html

to achieve a setup where a new client can PXE boot into a sysinstall 
scripted installation process. Everything that I can find refers to 
i386/amd64 architectures.

Has this also been done for sparc64? I assume that it can if I can 
create a pxeboot loader for sparc64 as described in 
http://www.locolomo.org/pub/pxeboot/pxeboot.html but since I'm rather 
new at this, I thought I'd ask if anyone has tried this before I spend 
too much time on it.

Thanks,
Duncan Hutty
