Hmm... I see no mention of them in 
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/devices.txt, and even then
my devices seem to be correct:

[2:43am] sparcy:~> ls -l /dev/f*
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29,   0 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb0
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29,  32 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb1
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29,  64 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb2
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29,  96 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb3
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29, 128 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb4
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29, 160 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb5
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29, 192 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb6
crw-rw-rw-   1 root     tty       29, 224 Feb 20 15:36 /dev/fb7
brw-rw----   1 root     floppy     2,   0 Feb 20 15:21 /dev/fd0
brw-rw----   1 root     floppy     2,   1 Feb 20 15:21 /dev/fd1
crw--w--w-   1 root     root       1,   7 Feb 20 15:21 /dev/full

This is after I ran "chmod 666 /dev/fd?" of course... and 
/dev/fb7 is listed to be minor 240 even though 224 looks right
to me.  Whatever, not like I'm gonna touch it. :)  I did
nothing else special (besides the link to /dev/mouse).

Don't know what to say other than "it worked for me".  I'm 
new to Debian and new to Linux on a Sparc (but not new to
Linux or Sparcs), and figured I'd share what worked for me... 
... good luck... :)
