5.0-RELEASE should install on that machine, but if you want to use it for
more than a headless box we're probably not ready for you yet.  The console
support is still rudimentary at best, you want to be using a serial console
if at all possible.

And yes, as Julian pointed (hi Julian), its best to ask on the sparc64 list.
