Running Sun4OS4.0.3 clients from Sun4OS4.1 server

I am trying to load Sun4 OS4.0.3 as an additional architecture on a
heterogenous server (Sun 4/370 running SunOS 4.1).  After going through
the all the prompts in add_services, it gets around to reading the tape
and prints out: "The sunos 4.0.3 sun4 media loaded is not supported."

Is this the tape itself?  I tried it in new tape drive (QIC 150), and in
an old Sun 3 tape drive (QIC 24), and I got the same message from both.

Here is what my /export/exec directory looks like:
drwxr-sr-x  3 root          512 Aug  2 21:05 kvm
drwxr-sr-x  9 root          512 Mar  6 17:26 proto.root.sunos.4.1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root           14 Aug  2 21:05 sun3 -> sun3.sunos.4.1
drwxr-sr-x 23 root         1024 Aug  2 22:21 sun3.sunos.4.1
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root            4 Aug  2 19:57 sun4 -> /usr
lrwxrwxrwx  1 root            4 Aug  2 19:57 sun4.sunos.4.1 -> /usr


What I want is a server that supports sun3os4.1, sun4os4.1 (and runs 4.1),
and sun4os4.0.3.

Thanks in advance for any help.
