Okay, I got it installed now through the following procedure:

use same DVD as above
configure network manually
do not select desktop option

then after a reboot I was able to install additional packages from  
the DVD using apt-get, aptitude and - after similar crashes as before  
- dpkg --configure -a


Is Debian correct is saying that TCX supports 8-bit only? Don't we  
have 15, 16 and 32 bit there, too?
I modified xorg.conf to use suntcx instead of sunffb; depths of 24,  
16 and 15 did not work, with 8 bit I got the Blue Swirl. ;-) Looks a  
little ugly at 8bpp, and without Lance working I can't use XDMCP or  
VNC instead.
