Comments/Problems:
Trying to install Debian to this SunFire v440 which fails. Extracts from /var/log/syslog 

seems to point to problem with the SUN Cassini driver.

´

This is the part of kernel startup where network is detected:

(The 3c905B I added just for trying to see if it worked better than the internal ports)
