I've got the same problem. Machine is a SunFire V240, 1x1GHz, 512MB of RAM, and an XVR-100 video card. I've tried both the breezy mini.iso from:

http://ports.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-ports/dists/breezy/main/installer-sparc/current/images/2.6/mini.iso

and the dapper beta install CD from:

http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ports/releases/6.06/beta/ubuntu-6.06-beta-install-sparc.iso

The breezy mini.iso gives "Fast Instruction Access MMU Miss," while the dapper install CD gives "Illegal instruction."

(I've tried the netboot tftp images, but both immediately blank the screen after writing "Booting kernel..." - screen goes black, and I'm not sure why. I suspect it starts writing to the terminal, but I don't have a console to try with.)

Solaris isn't currently installed, but I'll try to install and get a prtconf output, if that could help.
