Bug#509202: Broken kernel
I have been using a custom kernel so I cannot say how the debian
kernel works. My friend Brad took a look at a similar (possibly the
same) issue on his blade 2500. He has a working boot.img and
additional information online at
http://www.grsecurity.net/~spender/new_sparc_netinstall/
Hopefully this helps you.
