It seems the default machine is missing a network device, so no network by
default, but that's easy to fix on the command-line: just add a network
device.
I just installed the ISO image in qemu on a zvol using (here the nework
device is of type 'pcnet'):
#####
qemu-system-sparc64 -machine sun4u -smp 1 -m 1024 \
-drive
file=/path/to/the/vm/disk/image,id=rootdisk,if=none,format=raw -device
ide-hd,drive=rootdisk \
-drive
file=/path/to/debian-9.0-sparc64-NETINST-1.iso,id=datacd,if=none,format=raw
-device ide-cd,drive=datacd \
-device pcnet,vlan=0 -net user,hostfwd=tcp::10023-:22 \
-nographic
#####
The bit in -net allows to do "ssh -p 10023 user@localhost" to connect to
the VM once SSH is started. It's all bog-standard, slow, non-virtio
devices, but it does the job.
Now I need to find a cd-r to burn, to try and install on my Ultra 1E if I
can find the time. Probably won't be fast :-)
Cordially,
