Looking at the dmesg output, it looks like you're hitting the issue where the bochs_drm module panics on load meaning that you end up with no framebuffer unless you explicitly set the serial console as above. I actually managed to debug this over the weekend and sent the patch upstream (see https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/dri-devel/2017-July/145935.html) so qemu-system-sparc64 should work fine with the bochs_drm framebuffer when the 4.13 kernel comes out. Adrian - next time you do a set of Debian images, would it be possible to include this patch until it lands upstream? ATB, Mark.
