Do you try to boot the Lenny installer with a sparc32 qemu system? That won't work. Lenny only supports sun4u or sun4v systems. See http://d-i.alioth.debian.org/manual/en.sparc/ch02s01.html#sparc-cpus (and no, there is no sparc64 system support in Lenny's qemu either...) > 4.0r6 installation starts fine, so it looks like a regression. Sort of. But it's documented and therefore not a bug. Etch do support sun4m: http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/sparc/ch02s01.html.en#id2529946 and can therefore be installed in qemu, yes.
