Can you please re-run the installation and save the installation log from /var/log/syslog?
I can't really work on this problem if I don't have any debug logs.

We need the logfile.

That's because debian-ports separates between pool and pool-$ARCH [1]. That's
not something I can change at the moment. But I also don't know whether it makes
a difference given the fact the kernel packages - linux-image-sparc64 - is also
installed from pool-sparc64.
pool = arch:all packages
pool-sparc64 = arch:sparc64 packages
In any case, we need the contents of /var/log/syslog. It might be that debian-installer
is picking "nobootloader" over "silo-installer" over this fact. Or it takes it over
"silo-installer" because silo-installer comes "unreleased" and "nobootloader" comes
from "unstable".
You could try installing "silo-installer" using "anna install silo-installer" after
switching to a terminal using Alt+Fn keys.
