Unfortunately sparc Sarge CDs do not offer both 2.4 and 2.6 installation, 
only 2.4.

The Etch installation CDs use 2.6 by default and have 2.4 as alternative 
for sparc64; for sparc32 we currently only support 2.4 (2.6 is planned 
for the next release).
This will of course not help you if you really want to install Sarge...

For Sarge, netbooting is the only option to install using a 2.6 kernel.
