Exactly. As long as you're using SILO, your boot partition should be on a plain and simple ext3 partition to avoid any issues. You can try to install grub2 from the "unreleased" repository manually during the installation by opening a shell from the debian-installer, chrooting into /target, running "apt update && apt install grub2". But I haven't tested this _at all_, so I can't tell if this works or not. However, any tests with the +sparc64 grub2 version from "unreleased" are highly appreciated and welcome on the list.
