You can install woody, but you are forced to do a netinstall. Read the
debian installation manual for sparc and learn the ``boot net''
nirvana...
There's also a beta3 of sarge install bootcd, the cd boot fine but
there's a bug and canot be used. You can try to use the boot floppy
recently announced on this list, but AFAIK the sb150 cannot boot from
floppy...
When installed, you can switch to sarge/unstable, you have only to
tweak some minor problem on boot script (AFAIK fixed) and on
XF86Config-4 (a general problem for ATI chipset on non-i386). Look at
the list archives, this month.
