Exactly. As long as you're using SILO, your boot partition should be on a plain
and simple ext3 partition to avoid any issues.
You can try to install grub2 from the "unreleased" repository manually during
the installation by opening a shell from the debian-installer, chrooting into
/target, running "apt update && apt install grub2". But I haven't tested this
_at all_, so I can't tell if this works or not.
However, any tests with the +sparc64 grub2 version from "unreleased" are highly
appreciated and welcome on the list.
Thanks,
Adrian
