http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_rc2/sparc/iso-cd/debian-testing-sparc-netinst.iso
downloaded and burnt just a few moments ago.

Here's the output (I pasted it from the serial console):

boot: [pressed enter]
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel

{1} ok

Can something be done?
