Hi Zach and Adrian
The first test that I did, is with this image that you send, and , I got
that bug

Zach, with the image that you send, I'm able to install, but, when I try to
install the addons, the installer are not able to find some valid repo,
and, after the install, I got this error, after select on Grub to start
debian:

error: canonicalise devname failed.
Unhandled Exception 0x0000000000000030
PC = 0x00000000ffd0f254 NPC = 0x00000000ffd0f258
Stopping execution

About qemu, I did the test on two diff machines:
first: ubuntu aarch64:
QEMU emulator version 6.2.0 (Debian 1:6.2+dfsg-2ubuntu6.9)
Copyright (c) 2003-2021 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers

seconds: Windows 11 - intel i9 128gb of ram:
QEMU emulator version 8.0.0 (v8.0.0-12024-gd6b71850be-dirty)
Copyright (c) 2003-2022 Fabrice Bellard and the QEMU Project developers

I got the same error, on linux and windows, I did the tests with this
command lines:

qemu-system-sparc64 -machine sun4u,usb=off -smp
1,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=1 -rtc base=utc -m 4096 -boot d -drive
file=debian_sparc64.qcow2,if=none,id=drive-ide0-0-1 -cdrom
debian-12.0.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso -device
ide-hd,bus=ide.0,unit=0,drive=drive-ide0-0-1,id=ide0-0-1 -msg timestamp=on
-serial mon:telnet::3333,server,wait -nographic -net nic,model=ne2k_pci
-net user -monitor stdio

and, after fail, I did the test with this command line:

qemu-system-sparc64 -hda debian_sparc64.qcow2 -cdrom
debian-12.0.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso -boot d -m 4096 -net nic -net user
-nographic
