A problem in general -- network programs don't work, possibly due to a
socket bug.

Yes, more or less. Actually it was RARP, slightly stranger and
requiring kernel support. Once its set up though you can just tell
the sparc PROM to "boot net".
There might be debian boot disks too, haven't checked lately.

There's some documentation in disks-sparc.
