The task is to install Debian on an old SunFire T1000 server. The problem is that it has no USB ports and no CD-ROM, plus the old SPARC processor architecture.
Internet searches have led to the fact that the latest Debian that supports SPARC is version 7.11.0.
You need to install a DHCP and TFTP server, upload the image to TFTP, and boot from the server via OpenBoot (analogous to BIOS).
In theory, everything is clear, but how to do it in practice is not. Which image file to upload, which commands to enter in order to boot over the network is not clear. Maybe someone came across?
