These sparc kernels are not in testing yet; if I read the code right, base installer will blindly pick the first kernel it can find if the preferred one is not available (sparc does not have a fallback kernel set in debian-installer/kernel/image). If you're lucky it may manage to find a kernel that seems to match the installer's kernel. Is this a safe change to be making at this point in the beta4 release process?
