Ahhh so it appears that Debian have broken QEMU packages for
qemu-system-sparc :(
You should be able to grab the binaries directly from QEMU git at
http://git.qemu.org/?p=qemu.git;a=tree;f=pc-bios;h=1cbe7b99f5fd330fab98804444b0d06f0c029b00;hb=a257c741491ff1c3c192d13a89c136dd6401c54d
- simply drop both files into /usr/share/qemu manually and see if
that
helps.
No change. Still black.
How strange.
First can you check again with the different display options: -display
sdl, -display gtk and -display vnc and see if that changes anything? At
least if anything is wrong and you launch these from a terminal you may
see some errors on the command line.
Secondly what happens if you remove the -hda part from your command
line
and just try booting the ISO?
Still black.
package openbios-sparc adds
/usr/share/openbios/QEMU,tcx.bin
/usr/share/openbios/openbios-sparc32
/usr/share/openbios/openbios-sparc64
it could be that qemu is not looking at the correct location, I see
only symlinks from /usr/share/qemu/ to /usr/share/openbios for
sparc32/64 files.
Okay. Now that those video bin files are in the proper place and named
correctly, the graphical window is showing something normal. I guess
the package is mangled.
Now that that's done, neither "boot 2" nor "boot cdrom" will work.

Excellent! If you drop the -bios ss5.bin from the command line and use
the in-built OpenBIOS ROM then you can use -boot d on the command line -
that really is the easiest option IMO.
Otherwise you need to manually type "boot disk2:d" into the BIOS on
every boot as per
http://tyom.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/solaris-under-qemu-how-to.html.
Why should the boot command work differently under QEMU from how it works
on real hardware?
