That's great. The more SPARC upstream developers run Debian, the better ;). You are also very welcome to send any patches for the Debian packaging or even become a co-maintainer for Debian/sparc64 ;). In any case, this mailing list post should help you getting Debian installed on your SPARC box: > https://lists.debian.org/debian-sparc/2016/06/msg00126.html > I also see some things below that are not in my code that probably got > changed when grub was packaged up. That's because I actually just took Debian's source grub2 package, added your patches as a single Debian patch and rebuilt the package with the "+sparc64" version suffix added. The packaging source for Debian's grub2 source package can be found here: > https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-grub/grub.git Note: This does not include your patches yet as I just created an unofficial grub2 package for sparc64 only. If you check the "debian" subdirectory, you'll see that there are already some sparc/sparc64-specific files in place and we should probably just update these files as well to adjust the default configuration for sparc and sparc64.
