The box has an external SCSI port correct?  I have an external Sun
CD-ROM that you're welcome to borrow for the installation.   You can
also net boot a pa-risc machine if I remember correctly.  I've installed
OpenBSD on an old HP 9000/300 using the netboot method.  I'm pretty sure
you could install Debian using a tftp image as well.  Let me know if I
can be of assistance.
