Is this not newer than mine? I think 4.17 is the latest ( I have 4.2 )
Concerning the way to do the updates, I did all my updates by netbooting 
the update installer. I did this for Ultra 1, 1E, 5, 10 and 30.

IIRC just setup a RARP and TFTP server, and serve the flash rom 
updater over TFTP. The file name should be the IP address of the client in HEX 
written with capital letter (tcpdump is your friend here analyzing the 
requests) and maybe at the end you should add the architectural class 
(sun4u). Do not forget to set the jumpers on the motherboard also. :)

Good documentation about this setup could be found here:
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/network/netboot/intro.sun.ofw.html

The other way round is to use the Solaris CD/DVD.
