what is in your /etc/fstab ? devfs style naming ? Where does the boot halt? right where the root filesystem should be mounted ? does /dev have static entries or was it an empty dir because devfs was creating them ? boot with an install cd to find out if /dev/* entries for your hardware exist or if you know they do then boot with kernel parameter init=/bin/bash and then 'mount -o remount,rw /' to edit your fstab. Lastly does that kernel have an initrd, does it need drivers loaded for ide? This is all the things I would be looking at in your situation, as I don't have an uptodate debian sparc box to check any of these things, my entire email might be sending you in the wrong direction.
