i doubt disk space has anything to do with it ... if the machine bit it like 
this, it's because the kernel barfed either due to bad driver or bad hardware

i'd try a few diff livecds and if those dont help, drop into the #gentoo-sparc 
channel on irc.freenode.net where all of the sparc guys can give you real 
inside pointers
