tried in solaris sparc ldom, created domain, same way as oracle sparc
linux (details in
https://oss.oracle.com/linux-sparc/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-1.0-en.html)
but changed cdrom from oracle iso to netinstall.iso
(debian-9.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso), here the output:

{0} ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@1  File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
{0} ok


attached solaris linux sparc iso to this netinstall ldom :
root@deimos:/home/sysadmin# ldm list-services
...
VDS
    NAME             LDOM             VOLUME         OPTIONS
MPGROUP        DEVICE
                                      lfs2.iso       ro
              /export/zfs/ISOs/linux-sparc-1.0-DVD.iso
                                      netinst.iso    ro
              /export/zfs/ISOs/debian-9.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso

root@deimos:/home/sysadmin# ldm list -l netinstall
...
DISK
    NAME             VOLUME                      TOUT ID   DEVICE
SERVER         MPGROUP
    vdisk1           netinstdisk@primary-vds0         0    disk@0
primary
    cdrom            netinst.iso@primary-vds0         1    disk@1
primary
    cdrom1           lfs2.iso@primary-vds0            2    disk@2  primary


and if I try to boot from cdrom1 , it actually goes ok:

{0} ok boot cdrom
Boot device: /virtual-devices@100/channel-devices@200/disk@1  File and args:
The file just loaded does not appear to be executable.
