I don't really care about installers. I was surprised that NetBSD
couldn't load a root file system/rescue file system into ramdisk
when booting over the network. It does load a kernel, but that's
not enough when I'm in a jam.
In contrast, the debian sparc64 kernel image includes a
root/rescue file system in the image that gets fetched in a
network boot.

Lucky you!
