I had the same problem with the ISO on my SunBlade 100.  In
the end, what I did was setup my debian x86 desktop with
rarpd,tftpd,and bootp and then I booted the SunBlade over
my home network.

That worked fine, and I was able to install Debian and I've
been running it ever since, which is been about a month
now.

For more detailed instructions see:

I also found the Debian install manual helpful, specifically
section 4.5 - "Preparing Files for TFTP Net Booting"
