Sparc VOYAGER and Debian LINUX



I recently acquired a Sparcstation VOYAGER through a gov't auction.  I would
like to load DEBIAN Linux to the machine, but have run into the following
issue (forgive the Newbie...).

When attempting to load from diskette (I didn't get a CD-ROM drive with the
unit), I am unable to load the ROOT diskette.  The Rescue diskette boots,
but when I attempt to load the ROOT filesystem diskette, I get an error
message:

I/O error, Dev 02:00 (floppy), Sector 0

I have attempted to recreate the ROOT diskette several times.  Can anyone
tell me the PROPER way to generate the ROOT filesytem on diskette?

Thanks!
