Grub Error 25 - pxebooting Sol10u8 on an Oracle VM domU

 So, I've created a network bootable virtual machine using Oracle VM Manager 2.2.2 and I'm attempting to jumpstart it with Solaris10u8 from our well worn and tested lab Solaris Jumpstart Server.
When I boot up the virtual machine, it downloads the pxegrub and executes it and the menu.lst is shown on the console. However once it goes to load the default menu entry it fails with:

loading '/I86pc.Solaris_10-28/multiboot kernel/$ISADIR/unix - install -B console=ttyb,install_config=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/export/jumpstart,sysid_config=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/export/jumpstart/sysidcfg/DEFAULT_V4.243,install_media=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/export/images/x86/solaris_10_u8,install_boot=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:/export/images/x86/solaris_10_u8/boot'

Howdy, Stranger!
