I downloaded 11.3 and recreated bootable USB

Code:

root@sparc1:/var/tmp# usbcopy sol-11_3-text-sparc.usb
Image type: dd-able Sparc
Found the following USB devices:
0:      /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0s2     15.2 GB General  UDisk            5.00
Enter the number of your choice: 0

WARNING: All data on your USB storage will be lost.
Are you sure you want to install to
General UDisk 5.00, 15200 MB at /dev/rdsk/c10t0d0s2 ?  (y/n) y
Copying and verifying image to USB device
Finished 991 MB in 255 seconds (3.8MB/s)
0 block(s) re-written due to verification failure
Completed copy to USB
root@sparc1:/var/tmp#

But I am not able to boot from this USB drive. It doesn't even try to search and then give up. as soon as I hit boot command, it fails instantly. So I am assuming, probably I am not giving proper/complete path ?
OBP 4.27 is minimum required OBP level for USB support and I have 4.33

Code:
