Does the Ultra 2 have a CDROM? If so that is the best way to go.

In the past I managed to install Debian on a Sun Ultra 5. I used 
the netinstall CDROM image (about 30Megs) and then apt-get-ed 
everything else I needed.

The only thing you really need to make sure of is that you are using 
the Sparc net instal image and not one for some other architecture.
