Thanks for the upload. The new version works like version 2.02-2+sparc64.3 for
me.
Frank, if you like, you can help improving grub-installer for sparc64.
We have extended the hardware detection in debian-installer on sparc and
sparc64 now, so that the installer can detect whether the hardware supports
GPT partition tables or not.
On a sparc64 with GPT support, you get something like:
sparc64/sun4v_gpt as the hardware type.
A sparc with GPT gives:
sparc/sun4v_gpt
And a sparc64 which is a sun4u without GPT, gives:
sparc64/sun4u_sun
This information should be used here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/d-i/grub-installer.git/tree/grub-installer#n628
and here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/d-i/grub-installer.git/tree/grub-installer#n853
and here:
https://anonscm.debian.org/git/d-i/grub-installer.git/tree/grub-installer#n867
For the different invocations of grub-install on Sun and GPT partition tables,
see:

I am building a new installer image necessary to work on this.
