Hi Dennis!
Good day Sir !
Sadly the Fujitsu M3000 SPARC64 VII+ does bad things after we see GRUB :

Sadly this machine seems to be nothing but a fancy brick with 64G of
expensive ECC memory etc etc.
I don't think the Fujitsu SPARC64 CPUs were ever officially supported by
the Linux kernel, were they? Probably not going to happen in the future
either.
Sadly the machine isa bit of a brick. Maybe NetBSD works? No idea.
However a much older and smaller UltraSPARC IIi Netra seems to be
working just perfect. I am doing the install now, live, streaming on
YouTube.
To say the least it is a slow and boring stream :)
But it works !
