Install NetBSD 5.0.1/Sparc64 on Qemu falied
January 31, 2010 - 4:19pm
# wget ftp://iso.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/iso/5.0.1/sparc64cd-5.0.1.iso
# qemu-img create -f qcow2 NETBSD.qcow2 12G;
# qemu-system-sparc64 -hda ./NETBSD.qcow2 -cdrom sparc64cd-5.0.1.iso;
In QEMU say:
0 > boot cdrom
NetBSD IEEE 1275 Bootblock
Invalid superblock magic
byte-load: exception caught!
ok

Well, this issue doesn't really have anything to do with KVM (which is x86/x86_64 only), your Sparc64 issue is pure QEMU...
That said, Sparc64 is not supported yet, according to the status page of QEMU:
http://www.qemu.org/status.html
In generel, you'll most likely get more qualified answers if you ask such questions in a forum dealing with QEMU emulation, for example the official QEMU forum:
