netboot.tar.gz just contains the initrd.gz and vmlinux again:
$ tar tvf netboot.tar.gz
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2021-04-14 18:06 ./
drwxr-xr-x root/root 0 2021-04-14 18:06 ./debian-installer/

./debian-installer/sparc64/vmlinux
-rw-r--r-- root/root 57 2021-04-14 18:06 ./version.info
So which installer image, precisely, would you like me to use?
