I'm not quite sure why, but there is some weird difference in how
sparc64 boots up with initrd. I went down this road a long time ago with
the Debian boot images. I don't consider it a bug with the kernel, just
that x86 seems to be less critical of the initrd environment than other
architectures do. Hell, I can't even remember what it was that caused
this.
