Several people, including me, have done some work on d-i for sparc.
As of a month ago, I was able to get the netinsall image to build, but
didn't try booting it. There was also a need for a silo-installer
udeb.
The cd build seems to need a sun4u (sparc64) machine to build, so you
may want to make the ultra 5 your primary build machine. (I wasn't
able to get it to build cleanly on my sparc-LX.)
Ben Collins said he was going to do some more work on d-i, I consider
him the expert we should be helping.
Why don't we do the coordination of work and sparc-specific issues on
the debian-sparc mailing list where it would be easier to find?
(Mail-followup-to set there.)
