Yes. I should have been more specific. You need the rescue.bin (sun4cdm
[for a Sparc WS 2]), driver-1.bin + driver-2.bin (again sun4cdm
versions) and the root.bin (base). Again, Ben is right, you don't really
need all the other floppies (base) if you have download access. All
floppies are available at any Debian Sparc download sites (as I'm sure
you know).
In US try:
