Problem installing Debian5 on an ultra sparc machine
Comments/Problems:
Machine boots from CDROM, starts SILO Version 1.4.13,
display welcome message (welcome to Debian GNU/Linux lenny! [...]
built on 20081218-10:06 [...]).
boot:
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
Loaded kernel version 2.6.26
Loading initial ramdisk (4284688 bytes at ....
Memory Address not Aligned
Choosing "boot: rescue" or "boot: expert" gives the same. The machine
boots SunOS 5.8 from its disk0 just fine, so the hardware apparently is
quite OK. The machine has 1024 MB memory installed.
Is this a known problem? What do I need to do? I am new to unix/linux and learning it on my own.
Thanks for all the help!

Is there a way to get to the OK prompt? I have tried control/break and that does not work.
If not is there a video card I can get to put in this box?
