Bad disk image on access1?

Question

Has anybody here had success using the Solaris 8 Device Configuration
Assistant (boot disk) image published on access1.sun.com as S28DCA_FCS?
I'm trying to mount it on a Solaris 8 system using lofi (VERY cool new
feature!), and it doesn't appear to be mountable. I compared its behavior
to that of an older boot disk on access1, for Solaris 7:
# file S28DCA_FCS
S28DCA_FCS: DOS executable (COM)
# file S27DCA0899.3
S27DCA0899.3: DOS executable (COM)
# lofiadm
Block Device File
/dev/lofi/1 /tmp/S28DCA_FCS
/dev/lofi/3 /tmp/S27DCA0899.3
# mount -F pcfs /dev/lofi/1 /bootdisk
mount: /dev/lofi/1 is not a DOS filesystem.
# mount -F ufs /dev/lofi/1 /bootdisk
mount: /dev/lofi/1 is not this fstype.
# mount -F pcfs /dev/lofi/3 /bootdisk
# ls /bootdisk
append.bat ident rc.d solaris
comment.bat makedir.bat replace.bat solaris.map
# df -k

swap 660256 4356 655900 1% /tmp
/dev/lofi/3 1423 1350 73 95% /bootdisk
Is this just a bad disk image?

Well, THAT wasn't pretty. Here's what it should have said:
<pre>
# file S28DCA_FCS
S28DCA_FCS: DOS executable (COM)
# file S27DCA0899.3
S27DCA0899.3: DOS executable (COM)
# lofiadm
Block Device File
/dev/lofi/1 /tmp/S28DCA_FCS
/dev/lofi/3 /tmp/S27DCA0899.3
# mount -F pcfs /dev/lofi/1 /bootdisk
mount: /dev/lofi/1 is not a DOS filesystem.
# mount -F ufs /dev/lofi/1 /bootdisk
mount: /dev/lofi/1 is not this fstype.
# mount -F pcfs /dev/lofi/3 /bootdisk
# ls /bootdisk
