While we're at it, you mentioned earlier that you tried Ubuntu Dapper (6.06)
with 2.6.15 which also failed miserably - Ubuntu shipped a few more sparc
releases other than that one, so you may get lucky with another one. A quick
Google tells me that their 7.04 and 7.10 releases still had sparc, so try
and find installer images from those.
