I got it from joeyh's link. Is jbailey's stuff more correct? Yes, it is
on sparc64, but sparc would act the same.

If debian-installer in fact doesn't need this anymore, then I'd rather
let it be. Let's confirm with Jeff and debian-boot.
(Cc'ing them on this email, so I'll put the question here)
Does debian-installer require devfs=mount is a boot param still? We have
a fix to make the sparc/sparc64 kernel images default with this command
line for netbooting (IOW, when SILO is not used to load the kernel),
but if it isn't needed, then we should leave well enough alone.
