    I just did the install. Expert mode to get the super cool ssh remote
    install working and to be able to config the network with better
    precision.

    $ uname -a
    Linux ceres 5.9.0-2-sparc64 #1 Debian 5.9.6-1 (2020-11-08) sparc64 GNU/Linux


    Seems to be working just fine on an old Netra. In the past the update
    process would always create a panic due to some oddity in the grub
    stage of things. I have not yet tested for that.
