Also tried an earlier version, beta3 netinst of 2004-03-30 (3ed15e150e820b47886d8058d0d99d33). This failed in the same way.
Also tested with Woody 3.0 disc 1 - I got further here (ie I got the welcome prompt from the installer) but I chose not to fully boot into the installer kernel.
A newer firmware version might get you further (see Bug#242290). Searching on Sun's web site for "firmware" may not provide useful results - try searching on "OBP".
