Exactly.  Note: I received the "Trap 3e" on two machines and with 
both UFS and ZFS bootlocks.

I managed to get it working by zeroing the entire disk, then manually 
installing 9.1 as per Mr. Lidl's script reference:

{0} ok boot disk
Boot device: /pci at 1f,4000/scsi at 3/disk at 0,0  File and args:

 >> FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS boot block
     Boot path:   /pci at 1f,4000/scsi at 3/disk at 0,0:a
Consoles: Open Firmware console
-
FreeBSD/sparc64 ZFS enabled bootstrap loader, Revision 1.0



Thanks everyone!
