There's a way big difference in 32 vs 64 bit, (the kernel is 64 bit) so upgrading a Wheezy 32 to Sid 64, will that flow? So the question is, what are the packages needed to do a minimal install. And are these build (and ready for use) on sparc64? If so, we can create Netboot image. And boot it from network, true?
