I'm happy to boot it under the emulator and poke around.  Do you have a URL to 
the install ISO you tried?

A quick google found:

  http://mirror.leaseweb.com/debian-cdimage/archive/4.0_r8/sparc/iso-cd/

Which has a 19-part iso image install.  *boggle*  (Reminds me of installing 
OS/2 from floppies...)

Possibly the "netinst" one...?  Right, I'll give it a whirl.

Thanks,

Rob
