Try our latest sparc64 build. It still has some rough edges, but you should
be able to get the system installed. Has a much more recent kernel and userland:

At the "boot:" prompt, append the following line:
preseed/url=https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/preseed-sparc64.cfg
And when installing, please use a minimal setup since the installer has some quirks still
and the more packages you are trying to install during installation, the more likely you
will run into issues.
Just install the bare minimum, then reboot and install the rest over the net.
