Unfortunately, most of the Sparc installation manual has been copied 
verbatim from woody and not updated. Do not believe everything you read 
there :-).

Anyway, I have updated the libc6 packages on my site to the Sarge version 
and put together a wiki page describing the procedure which I think 
*might* result in a successful upgrade from Woody to Sarge on sun4c. The 
page is at

http://wiki.debian.net/?SparcSun4c

Please try it out and document the results there.
