If I remember correctly the tftp boot images provided above don't have a version of the tulip driver built in that supports the dmfe cards built in. I think the drivers.tgz file contains a tulip module which does work, but without working networking it's rather difficult to get it onto the machine. (And if it did boot the network cable would need to be swapped before containing since Linux numbers the NIC's differently to the markings on the machine and the way Solaris numbers them.) I ended up removing the HDD and moving it to a PC, copying all of the base installation files onto it, and then tftpbooted the image but installed from HDD. (It wasn't quite that easy though since it took me about 10 goes to get the correct stuff on the HDD and in the correct place... plus I'd never used debian before - the installer is pretty primitive, totally unforgiving and not very helpful when things don't work...)
