That book, as well as ultralinux and netbsd-sparc64, that's all 
i found available except some manuals from Firmworks.com that
explained the openfirmware boot loader to me.

If it's a 140 or 170 (not the 170/e) you should be able to try netbsd
on it.  My problem is that i purchased a souped up ultra (170/e) 
and netbsd doeesn't yet support my SCSI, ethernet and display hardware.
