I'm working to install Debian on a Sun Ultra1. I get an error and a kernel
panic on boot.

Hardware:
Sun Ultra 1 SBus (UltraSPARC 143MHz), No Keyboard
OpenBoot 3.11, 256 MB memory installed

I've tried using debian-12.0.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso from 2023-05-16 09:05
Along with the snapshot from 2023-06-18 18:21.

I verified the SHA256SUM for both files.

I get the following output regardless of which option I choose in grub:

Where should I look to start resolving this?
