I've recently found instructions for
installing SunOS 4.1.3 under
qemu-sparc that I want to try as well.
Can you share a pointer to those with us?
Sure:

Oops, 4.1.4, not .3. :)
Found some more info about qemu-system-sparc, turns out, you don't even
need an 'ss5.bin' file, and CG3 graphics seem to work. Aparently the
built-in stuff works well enough to boot and install the OS.
I'm using a real SS5 rom image and -vga cg3 to have a graphical head.
Now to see if I can find any pre-compiled software archives anywhere.
I tried NextStep too. The media boots, but it eventually hangs and
never lets me install.
