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 Fedora be the first one? ;-) Assuming there will an install
image, like it used to be at Fedora 12 times.
If anyone is interested in the instructions:

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.
Artyom
