Just install a bare minimum system without any additional
components and install the rest once the system has been
booted. You can perfectly finish the installation even
when "Select and install software" has failed, just skip it!
These images are using debian-installer in a more or less unsupported
environment (relying on unstable instead of testing) and it's simply
possible that it will never work the same way as official images
do.
Please lower your expectations a bit and just accept the image
is not perfect. However, it works just perfectly well enough
to perform a minimal installation of Debian sparc64, even
on a T2000, we have multiple installations on the exact same
hardware.
And, please, stop installing Debian Wheezy (7.0) because it
will be completely out of any form of support (security updates)
at the end of April, so you are actually putting your servers
and desktops at risk!
