Well the reason I asked if you "created" (as in from the debian-cd
tools) was because creating Debian/SPARC cd's requires some finesse.
Since you downloaded these images from a know good source, then the
problem lies elsewhere.
What is the setup of this system? I presume it is IDE (for the cdrom)?
If so, which connection is the cdrom on (primary/secondary
master/slave)? The install CD assumes /dev/hdc (secondary/master). If
it's anything else you'll need to supply root=/dev/hdb or root=/dev/hdd,
depending. Don't supply a partition number, since it isn't partioned.
