qemu with openbios-sparc in Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx
It appears that the openbios-binaries have been removed from the qemu-packages in Ubuntu and you are recommended to install the openbios-sparc package instead.
But, it has no install-candidate because of build-problems, and my own attempt at building from the openbios-sparc source package was not successful
either – it is in the universe repository if you want to try.
My attempts at building the 1.0 stable release from OpenBIOS did not work.
I was able to compile the stable release (it requires GCC Cross-compiling support, I recommend this) but after installing the openbios-binary and trying to run a Sparc image the virtual machine
died after complaining about NVRAM length.
The solution (or what worked for me) was to download Qemu here and compile it myself.
This results in the openbios-binaries being installed
