   Have a look there:
  http://rpmfind.net/linux/RPM/redhat/5.2/sparc/Tree.html

I guess it does what's you're looking for. But are you really forced to
install through floppies ? Any spar has a built-in ethernet and pluggin
it to your PC seems the simplest way to install your system (c.f. multiple
posts on this topic during last week).
