Hi, since a few days qemu-system-sparc64 can boot Linux using virtio disks. Unfortunately currently there seems to be no Linux distribution which would have the virtio drivers on the install disk. Would Debian be the first one? ;-)
If anyone is interested in the instructions: http://tyom.blogspot.de/2012/05/booting-linuxsparc64-on-todays-openbios.html Don't be scared about the long Forth command line. In the QEMU 1.1 it's going to be not necessary anymore. It's just a workaround till OpenBIOS patches for fixing the problem find their perfect form.
