Thanks for your response, I tried wheezy sparc netinstall iso also.
It has same issue. I filed a bug report as Bug#678264. the report has
very detail information.
Can't remember the URL, but I remember I saw it somewhere about
T5120's CDROM is connected using usb bus and hence the CDROM not found
error message from netinstall iso image.
