It contains both the kernel and the initrd. But that's true for sparc as well,
so I am not sure why the sparc image is so much smaller.
In debian-installer's build/util/tftpboot.sh:
sparc | sparc64)
elftoaout -o $tftpimage $tftpimage.tmp
# Piggyback appends the ramdisk to the a.out image in-place
piggyback64 $tftpimage $tmp $rootimage
;;
So, I am currently out of ideas, to be honest.
