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.
ATB,
Mark.
