Could you test the following:

http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/sparc/iso-cd/debian-testing-sparc-netinst.iso

The image you point is, if I'm correct, built from the alpha1 release
of D-I and the above might be bette rsuited.

Please however note that I'd prefer having you to test a daily built
netboot image but these are apparently not built since....July 12th
(Geert? Any hint?)
