I could tell you but it's a minor pain and the 2.2.x kernels are generally
far better on Sparcs than the 2.0.35 kernel.
I recommend to try this one
ftp://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/dists/unstable/main/binary-sparc/base/kernel-image-2.2.9_2.2.9-2.deb

It's in unstable but works pretty well (most of the Debian sparc developers 
run it).

Greetings,

PS.: If you got problems with the 2.2.9 kernel mail again and I'll explain
how to compile a 2.0.35 kernel for Sparc.

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows, 
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
