One of the first things I plan on doing is a bootstrap of GCC 13.x

That will keep the machine thrashing for at least a week. With Gentoo I
saw an update time of the machine take well over 190 hours. Awesome
throughput with plenty of swap needed.
You should run the GCC testsuite which really tortures the hardware.
Btw, I had a quick glimpse through your video and saw that you were
confused by the kernel used by the installer which is still at 6.1.x.
The 6.3.x kernels are part of experimental only at the moment since
Debian Bookworm is going to be released with a 6.1.x kernel which is
an LTS kernel.
Since debian-installer images are always built from unstable, the installer
is currently stuck at kernel 6.1.x but you can install the experimental
kernel using this sources.list [1] afterwards with:
# apt install linux-image-sparc64-smp -t=experimental

You're timing is excellent! I was just looking at :
root@nix:~# cat /proc/version
Linux version 6.1.0-9-sparc64 (debian-kernel@lists.debian.org) (gcc-12
(Debian 12.2.0-12) 12.2.0, GNU ld (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.40) #1
Debian 6.1.27-1 (2023-05-08)
root@nix:~#
Which, yes, confused me somewhat.
Regardless I will not need the SMP kernel on this old machine.
I will use precisely what I see at :
https://people.debian.org/~glaubitz/sources.list.experimental
Then try :
root@nix:~#
root@nix:~#
root@nix:~# apt-get update

Type 'go' to resume
ok
I have seen this before and only on this type of machine.
Looks like a monster of a bug to even begin to bisect/disect and
not worth the time on this hardware. Maybe.
I will try another Netra machine tomorrow that is slightly different.
