I used to have an Ultra1 running sarge, but had to retire it because of
hardware problems. Please post exactly what happens when you just hit enter
at the silo prompt. If you don't have a serial console to copy/paste the
output feel free to take a picture and post a URL containing the error
messages.
Have you tried net booting it? Setting up a RARP and TFTP isn't that
difficult and would rule out a broken CDROM.

It should work fine, I had virtually no problems setting up Debian on my
Ultra1, although I believe I installed woody and dist-upgraded to sarge.
