Hello Guilherme,

I would disagree with Richard (was:"better to install Debian than 
Aurora"). [email protected] is not active anymore.

You should use [email protected].
Check http://auroralinux.org/

For the kind of user you seem to be, you'll be better of with aurora 
(based on RedHat 7.3, soon 9.0!) than with debian.

But, hey, this is linux - _YOU_ can make that choice!

Regarding your question - you should get the aurora cds and then try 
again. (check the site above for that too).

In terms of net install, if you really want to try it, this may help:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Network-Install-HOWTO.html
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Network-boot-HOWTO/index.html
and this for the sparc specifics

Good luck,
Silvio
