I have the exact same system. You need a custom kernel... I found
my first at 

http://www.phunnypharm.org/pub/for/sparc-folks/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img

Then, when you make your own kernels, you need a couple of extra patches. Start looking
at the following mailing list threads:

Don't use USB, it's not supported on the UltraSPARC III (yet)...
