That's helpful. I found that the stock images were not recognized by
the OpenBoot firmware. Not exactly a crash, but neither were they
successful.

Interesting question. In fact, I didn't put it first. It's third
because that's where solaris put it. I don't have the machine, so I
cannot reprint it here. I know that I only had two partitions, 1 and
3. 1 is most of the disk and 3 has about 1G for swap.
The only other thing I can think of trying is the tftp image you
suggest. Have you been successful with booting the Debian/Sparc
install CDs?
Cheers.
