I just got a t2000 from sun as part of their try/buy program partially due to the news about the successful linux bootup. I've got to admit that I'm an extreme newbie to sun hardware and rather than learn my way around solaris I want to stick in the warm comfy zone of linux and debian-based distributions. In the process of booting, I'm hitting a problem: Sun Fire T200, No Keyboard Copyright 2005 Sun Microsystems, Inc. All rights reserved. OpenBoot 4.19.0, 8184 MB memory installed, Serial #68096096.

Up to now, I've really only ever delt with x86 hardware.
