 This is what you want. Woody doesn't support UltraSPARC III/IIIi

I also had problem booting my Sun Blade 1000, and the phunnypharm image worked
like a charm for me.

Any reason why woody (nor do/did the second to last sarge debian installer) 
doesn't
support UltraSPARC III(i)?

slightly offtopic question:
My box is Blade 2000 and it have no floppy drive. 

Can I just plug the floppy drive out of intel box and plug it into blade 2000? 
I have checked out connectors - and yes it have connector on-board that is 
very similar to usual one.

BTW I'll try to make a null-modem cable and install linux through it in the

I have successfully connected to this box via serial cable. The only advantage 
I gain though that I can now log kernel messages.

Ok. Well. Thank you for your help - this key is really helped me to move 
forward but - nope - this is not enough.
Now I have stuck with another problem - it can't find console so I did not see 
anything except of initial kernel messages.

I tryed three images this time: woody tftp image (still same effect - junk 
spreading all over the screen with memory address not aligned error 
finally), sarge d-i tftp image and tftp image from 
http://www.phunnypharm.org/.

Nope that doesn't helped. I have tried several different methods - both cdrom 
and tftp boot but none worked.
I have tried:
1) CDROM boot
I have tried d-i image 
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-sparc/current/images/cdrom-mini.iso
Got:

Rebooting with command: boot cdrom
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/[EMAIL PROTECTED],0:f 
Dile and args:
SILO Version 1.4.4
Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok

2) tftp boot
used images:
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/tftpboot.img
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/testing/main/installer-sparc/current/images/sparc64/netboot/boot.img
http://www.phunnypharm.org/pub/for/sparc-folks/disks-sparc/current/sparc64/tftpboot.img
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/stable/main/disks-sparc/current/sun4u/linux-a.out

All results in approximately the same result BUT with some variations. The 
most strange is that variations belongs not to specific images but to some 
random cause - I mean I got different results on every next boot.
So sometimes I got
1) Immediate error

Rebooting with command: boot net:dhcp tftpboot.img
Boot device: /[EMAIL PROTECTED],70/[EMAIL PROTECTED],1:dhcp File and args: 
tftpboot.img
Timeout waiting for BOOTP/DHCP reply. Retrying ...
464c00 Memory Address not Aligned
ok Fast Data AData access Error
ok Fast Data Access MMU Miss
ok

2) Some junk spreads over the top of screen and then hang with similar errors.
You can see screenshot here:
http://www.penza-gsm.ru/snake/debian/junk-and-mmu-miss.jpg
In this case the computer hangs

3) Same as (2) but it not hangs but instead prints ever more jung on every 
kestroke.

4) (I have not seen this myself but it is the best result)
