I doesn't hang. The machine boots fine, you just need to enable a serial
console, that doesn't happen by default.
Please append "console=ttyS0,9600,8n1" to the kernel command line. A sample
silo.conf for these cases looks like this:
root@notker:~# cat /etc/silo.conf
root=/dev/sda2
partition=1
default=Linux
read-only
timeout=5
image=/boot/vmlinuz
label=Linux
append="console=ttyS0,9600,8n1"
initrd=/boot/initrd.img
image=/vmlinuz.old
label=LinuxOLD
append="console=ttyS0,9600,8n1"
initrd=/initrd.img.old

We're currently working on making sparc64 release architecture in Debian. Most
of the criteria have been met and we're basically just waiting for some hardware
donation to be set up as the official buildds in Debian's hosting sites.
