Thinking of future, could anyone estimate when it will be possible to

To summary, what OS alternative for SPARC we have got apart from
Debian
which are known to work under QEMU? *BSD systems?
I can run NetBSD sparc install CD just fine.
It supports sparc32 in the latest release.
Thanks. Great, I'll try.
One of the problems I found with Debian Etch is the package
repositories
are no longer supported and the installer
can easily mess with those for Lenny.
The only solution is to have all CDs for Etch available and run
complete
offline installation.
I guess the NetBSD option is more up to date here.
I have tried the recent NetBSD and it boots without problems,
however I can't configure networking to install via FTP/HTTP.
Strangely, I don't get question about DHCP.
Yes, that's probably an issue with the sparc installer script.
However, the sparccd has all the sets so you can easily install from
the CD.
Once installed you can set up dhclient.
Thanks for the hint.
Indeed, I managed to install the base system from CD and boot from QEMU
image. I performed post-install configuration according to the NetBSD
guide and I have dhclient=YET in /etc/rc.conf.
Certainly, I mean, dhclient=YES
The only problem I find is that I'm unable to configure any
other networking than the user mode with QEMU network 10.0.2.0.
Learned about the networking better and managed to
connect (SSH) to my emulated NetBSD installation from host system
(Windows Vista) thanks to ports redirection as explained here:
http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Networking
I should have read the docs more carefully.
