 Greetings,
 
 I apologize for the late reply.
 
 The changes in question seem to have now been integrated into the netbsd-10
 branch. Therefore, you should be able to use this image instead now:
 
 https://nycdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-10/202412041400Z/images/NetBSD-10.0_STABLE-sparc64.iso
 
 As for the issues you have been having most recently, I would just want to make
 sure that you were downloading the binary sets from the netbsd-10 branch in
 addition to just the install image.
 
 For example, I think you would use:
 
 nycdn.netbsd.org
 for "Host"
 
 pub/NetBSD-daily/netbsd-10/202412041400Z
 for "Base Directory"
 
 /sparc64/binary/sets
 for "Binary set directory"
 
 and
 /source/sets/
 for "Source set directory"
 
 in sysinst to use a fixed revision on the netbsd-10 branch if you are
 installing via http.
 
 If using new sets does not help with root device detection, I would think you
 could type something like "ld0" at the "root device:" prompt, although I am not
 sure this would address the other issues.
 
 Also, would the discussion in this issue also apply to your PR #57289?:

 I hope this is useful. Please let me know if the issues persist.
 
 Regards,
     George
