I don't know. I'm running Debian on Sparcs since a few years, and
on about 8 machines. And I've never used floppies or a CD to boot.
Even the first I set up with bootp and tftp. So I guess on sparc
they aren't needed as much as on architectures where you can't just
"boot net". So this makes the userbase smaller (which isn't as huge 
as the x86-crowd in the first place), and certainly also the 
developer-base even more...
