2020-04-19 debian-10.0-sparc64 NETINST working fine sort of but libc6-dev ???
See installers compliments of John Paul Adrian Glaubitz at :
https://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/ports/2020-04-19/
Wherein I was able to use dd to write the installer image onto a scsi
disk and then boot that disk in slot2 of an old Sun Netra t1-105 unit
that we all used to call the "flapjack" server. With only 1GB of mem
and ye old old Sun UltraSPARC IIi type 440MHz processor it was a slow
install process to be sure and one must use a 9600 baud 8-n-1 serial
terminal to do the task.
However the end result looks quite fine :

I will remove the "installer" SCSI disk from slot 2 and replace it with
an original Sun firmware 18GB disk and then perhaps setup /usr/local
there as an etc4 fs and try to compile the latest linux-5.7-rc2 kernel.
That should take days and days.
