does your Sunfire have two CPUs? I didn't manage to run any installer kernel on a Sunfire v880 (same kind of CPUs, just more...) as the machine does NOT boot with a non-smp kernel. Also the Etch kernel (2.6.18...) does not work at all, it results in a red flag CPU exception here (the non-smp kernel), the smp kernel just hangs the machine. What you can do is to try the latest installer from http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ What I would recommend is to isntall the machine via serial console, especially fi you want to run it as server. Saves you the fun to figure out if the kernel likes your Sun graphics card (on mine it stopped after displaying the penguins...). Also check where your input/output device is routed to in case you have an RSC installed, setting input/output device to rsc didn;t work properly with some kernels (I've tested a lot of them which is no fun if your machine resets pretty hard and boots 15 minutes in diagnostics) - I'm just using ttya as input and output device now. I could give you my _VERY_ hacky netboot image I've used to install my machine. It's a 2.6.23-rc5 and doesn't come with any proper udebs for modules, I've just copied all modules with scp.... But if that works I could build you a proper netboot installer using 2.6.22, including http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commit;h=179c85ea53bef807621f335767e41e23f86f01df without this fix such nice tools like aptitude just hang the system.
