Thanks for the report. This problem has been reported for yaird as bug
#341522 for over a year now without any reaction from maintainer, so
the chances that it's going to be solved in time for etch are pretty
slim. If you have a chance, please try initramfs-tools, which is an
alternative (and currently, the default) initrd generator. Simply
installing initramfs-tools, removing yaird and then running
'dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.18-4-sparc64' should regenerate the
initrd using it.
Best regards,
