Thanks to everyone that responded.  It turned out to be a combination of
several suggestions people gave me.  The solution was to enter

setenv boot-device disk1:1

Now it reboots with no manual intervention.  Even though this is an older
SparcStation, I am *very* happy with the machine and how Debian runs on it!

Thank you everyone.

P.S. Perhaps this should be added to the Debian-SPARC install manual?
