For my machine, it's Ctrl+Break to get the prompt (thanks), but no
effect on typing 'n';
when executing 'boot /fd', got the following message:

Boot device:/fd	   File and args:

Can't open boot device

Nevertheless, 'boot floppy' does work!!!

Now I can start installing Debian on my UltraSparc IIi with
floppies...have fun!

Thanks again for all the advice and help from whoever responding to my
post!
Thanks!
Thank you!
Thank you all!
