I am now running this image with Qemu 0.12.5 on Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx, after some work.
The qemu-packages in Lucid have had the openbios-files removed and instead suggest
you install the package openbios-sparc, which has no installation candidate - I get the
impression that's because it has build-issues, but you are welcome to try and build
the source package for openbios-sparc, it is in the universe repository. (I tried, and failed)
The openbios link earlier in this thread did not work for me either, qemu just froze.
The solution is to compile qemu from source http://wiki.qemu.org/Download
It will install the openbios-files missing from the packaged version and you are all set.
