If you have serial access, it might simplify debugging if you use
the serial port (with logging) and post exact errors and the steps
leading up to them.

I haven't needed to try this on sparc but at least on i386, you can go
into sysinstall "expert mode" and rewrite the bootblocks at the disk
partition step without needing to repeat the complete installation -
"expert mode" enables a "commit now" button.

In order to rule out hardware issues, did the Sun Blade 1000 work
before you tried to install FreeBSD?  Have you tried running the
diagnostics (this will need a serial console)?
