Note that that is a 4MB image -- I don't know of any floppy that will fit
on.

Note that sparc64/dokern.sh only changes the kernel ident and removes
nothing.  The sparc64 boot.flp is used as the boot image for the CDROM.
The fact that it has a .flp is a pure side affect of release/Makefile's
legacy assumption that every platform has boot floppies.  Yet another way
that release/Makefile needs a *major* over haul.  I'd take that on, but I
know the resulting argument that would entail.
