Hi. The SS20 is the latest 32bit Sparc workstation - max. 2 CPU modules, up to 4 CPUs. No PCI, it's SBUS based.

I recently bougth an SS20 with two 150 MHz CPUs. I did not install Debian yet. Still on my to-do-list. If you still have trouble: which bootimage (URL)? I can try to check it for you. I have a local netboot-server which works fine with Sun Ultra and SGI Indy. I think I'll be able to add Sun32 support.
